de facto patent
"de facto patent" would be the most accurate translation for me, as we are talking of patents that are being actually used in a process, as opposed to patents that have been registered with the relevant authority (INPI in (France).
Example sentence:
de facto patents are patents that are used in a process without having been registered with the relevant authority

Note from asker:
| thanks, but... go and look at that page of yours... this is merely a definition of the term "de facto" on a site which is principally concerned with patents. A "de facto patent" seems a contradiction in terms to me - hence my question |
| try googling "de facto patent" (with the quotes)... you get only instances of this term where it is saying "a de facto patent sthg: ["term" or "extension" or "court"]"... |
Something went wrong...
