Law/Patents - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Dutch term or phrase: verhoudingen
Het eerstgenoemde document US 123456 is helaas al genoemd in het search report van het XYZ octrooi, maar is niet gedetailleerd aan de orde geweest in de verleningsprocedure. Aanvraagster (ABC) heeft slechts opgemerkt dat geen van de overige tegenhoudingen hetzelfde probleem oplosten.

This document concerns potential opposition to a patent for lack of novelty. I cannot figure out what tegenhoudingen means in this context.

novelty objections
Explanation:
In the context of patent infringement, so-called 'novelty objections' may be raised based on previously published patents or other relevant documents. I wouldn't be surprised if your source term 'tegenhoudingen' refers to such objections. Just my two pennies :-)

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: Volgens mij staat er dat geen van de 'tegenhoudingen' (IMO: tegenwerpingen/bezwaren op grond van reeds verleende octrooirechten) hetzelfde probleem oplossen als het product waarvoor octrooi wordt aangevraagd in octrooiaanvraag XYZ door ABC.
