this will facilitate the evaluation.

Explanation:
(This is very familiar writing style in patent opposition briefs.)
Full rendering: Ungeachtet der Syntax des Merkmals M 1.2 wird hier für die Ausführungen in Kapitel III ***zur besseren Bewertungsmöglichkeit*** wahlweise eine erste Bedeutung angenommen.
Regardless of the syntax in Feature M 1.2, for purposes of the arguments in Part III a first meaning will be assumed here [(at least initially)]; this will facilitate the evaluation.
---
Explanation: The author is attacking Feature M 1.2, which is susceptible to more than one interpretation. Initially at least, a first (e.g. paraphrased) meaning of Feature M 1.2 will be assumed, to make the argumentation better (e.g. more concentrated and streamlined).

To avoid any misunderstanding: I don't disagree; I only provided some more options in the d-box because
a) in my experience, "evaluation" is one of those words that is in frequent overuse among translators; depending on context, it may be as simple as "to rate" or "to judge the value, etc. of something";
b) it shows that you can use yet another option besides better/ease of/facilitate (namely, aid/assist in) to translate "besser"; it all depends on how you're phrasing the sentence.

That said, I'm not particularly fond of "assess," as you may need another noun for it (Johanna's own link shows the authors to use "assess" mostly in combination with "for clarity") and for some reason, "understanding" doesn't sound right in this context.

The author is not specifically referring to a court.
This is from an appeal brief. The author is referring to his/her own arguments, not an evaluation by the appeals panel or Patent Court or other judicial body. I personally prefer "evaluation", but "coming to a conclusion" or "arriving at a conclusion" would be acceptable too.

"to aid the court in coming to a correct conclusion' as to the 'true meaning of the language employed'"
...
'[e]xtrinsic evidence may also be considered, if needed to assist in determining the meaning or scope of technical terms in the claims'"
http://digitalcommons.law.uga.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...

"which use the description and drawings to interpret the claims concern the interpretation of relative, ambiguous or unclear terms or cite the description merely to confirm the most obvious interpretation of the text of a claim"
http://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/caselaw/201...

"the claim had to be interpreted as requiring that the first method step did not interfere with"
http://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/caselaw/201...

"The description of the invention can assist in interpreting the claim"
http://www.piperpat.com/page/listing/interpharma-nz-ltd-v-co...

As simple as that, IMO. I prefer "notwithstanding" to "regardless," but maybe I'm getting too old.

Best wishes
