French term or phrase: en évitant cependant

I have some problems formulating this.
Thanks for helping me at this LATE hour ...;-)

Il en resulte que l'homme du métier qui voulait traiter la matière 1 en évitant cependant les inconvénients de l'état de la technique n'était nullement orienté par ce document.

Explanation:
I'm not sure whether you are keeping track of the old-fashioned formal styled preferred in patent writing.
Nevertheless if that is the case I would use a expression like the one above, as the example below:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to provide an elastically deformable press cover which has grooves on its outside in a manner such that the grooves have a high water space capacity in the press zone and such that groove marking is nevertheless avoided in the finished paper. The press cover should furthermore be producible with minimum effort. (...)
The invention enables the grooves opening on the outside of the press cover to be made somewhat wider than previously, in order to achieve a high water holding capacity in spite of the ridge deformation, while nevertheless avoiding the risk of groove marking in the finished paper. This is because the resultant, more uniform compression of the dewatering felt results in a considerably more uniform compression and dewatering of the paper web across width."
