I am wondering if there is any more 'legal' term that would be better than 'without limit' in this context. Perhaps I am over thinking it, but I have a doubt that I may be missing something.
L’invention sera mieux comprise, et ses avantages ressortiront mieux, à la lumière des exemples suivants, qui sont donnés à titre illustratif, et sans limitation.
At the moment I have: The invention will be better understood, and its benefits will stand out better, in the light of the following examples, which are given as illustrations and without limit.

without limiting the invention to the specifics of the examples
