Science - Recht: Patente, Marken, Urheberrecht / Patent Opposition Brief | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: à compléter ou à parfaire | Context: the EPC opposition brief for a chemistry patent. I am wondering if there is a standard legal term for this phrase. If not, I will use a synonym for complete for parfaire, but hope one of you will know better than I.
"L’opposition est basée sur les documents suivants, à compléter ou à parfaire:" followed by a list of the relevant documents. |
| | | to be completed or complemented | Erklärung:
Hello,
I believe that *à parfaire* means to be perfected or refined (peaufiner). In the context of "documents à parfaire", the contexually appropriate word may very well be "to be complemented."
Example sentence:
If a document is complemented by additional signatures, it is closer to being ideally completed.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I reckon that "parfaire" means "to put finishing touches on"
You often see "complete and complement a meal", but with a document, it's best to say "complete and finalize." Yes, you could say "complement", but it's not the fixed expression in English.
I should have known this as a native speaker.
Let me rewrite my example sentence. Ignore the first example sentence.
The document has been complemented by additional signatures. In other words, it is now in its perfect state.
However, "completed or finalized" is the fixed expression.

One finalizes (complements LOL) a document with signatures, stamps of approval, etc.
