The other claims relate solely to the composition - i.e. materials and proportions. There is no further context provided with regard to the method of use, and I have not been provided with a patent number to see the rest of the description for information - looks like I may have to contact the client on this one!

Cilian O'Tuama Oct 21, 2005:

would e.g. the other claims not provide any hints?

Emma Grubb (asker) Oct 21, 2005:

That's all the context there is, I'm afraid. It's in a set of patent claims and the only part I missed out was the "dadurch gekennzeichnet, da�"

Jonathan MacKerron Oct 21, 2005:

with Cilian, the entire sentence would be a big help...

if you omit some more words, you could insert even more dots :-)
