German term
im Rahmen rein handwerklichen Handels
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Patents
Encountered in a patent. Here is the full sentence: "Die abhaengige Anspruch 5 betrifft Merkmale, die im Rahment rein handwerklichen Handels liegen".
There is a reference to Article 33(2) PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty). Ive checked this but can't find this exact phrase in German.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

purely a matter of routine
I would probably go with something along the lines of:
Dependent claim 5 relates to features which are purely a matter of routine. "Purely a matter of mechanical skill" is another possibility.
The sense is that these features can be carried out in a routine or mechanical manner by the person skilled in the art, i.e. nothing new or inventive is required. I can't find an example of this exact usage, but here are a variety of references which you can piece together.
This was not simply a matter of routine as this area of research was quite unexplored at the priority date of the patent in suit. (p. 15 of 17)

The mode of connecting motor 60 to the frame is purely a matter of mechanical skill (about 2/3 of the way down)
http://www.wikipatents.com/gb/1487471.html
The arrangement of stops is simply a matter of mechanical skill, and there could be no invention except in the precise form employed. (about ½ way down)
http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F1/0243/001/00000890.t...
Adjustment of such variables is simply a matter of routine by one skilled in the art. (just over half way down)

Dictionary entries from Klaften/Wittman/Klos Dictionary of Patent Terms
inventions of such a kind arise usually from mechanical routine - derartige Erfindungen pflegen sich aus der mechanischen Tagesarbeit zu ergeben, sind nur “handwerksmäßige Maßnahmen”
handwerkliches Können - mechanical skill
routine - mechanische Tätigkeit, tägliche Beschäftigung

Kim Metzger
: "Im Rahmen" is seldom translated as "within the framework" for natural English. "Handwerk" is seldom translated as "handicraft". Handicraft connotes sewing, basket weaving, etc.

: I wouldn't rule out that it might be said this way in certain parts of the English-speaking world. You'd be unlikely to hear it in Georgia, U.S., though.

The term appears in a patent- hence the use of the term"within the framework"- a patentese. I agree with Pittman.It may not be common in the West but in the Asian countries, the term Handicrafts is so commonly used.Cultural differences, I presume
