English to French Law/Patents Law (general)

It is not necessary to do so because, as stated at [384] above, the authorities show that the principle is not tooted simply in the avoidance of double recovery and may apply even where there is no prospect of that. But the justifications reflected in considerations (iii) and (iv) in XXX's case apply because of the possibility of YYYY “scooping the pool” before the companies’ claims, prejudicing other shareholders and creditors and because of the impact of these proceedings on R1 and R2’s ability to settle the companies’ claims.

Je ne parviens pas à trouver l'équivalent français de cette expression ("scooping the pool"). Merci d'avance ☺
