äquivalente Anmeldung(en)


Explanation:
I think this is largely a US term. I am more used to seeing "corresponding application(s)" or "equivalent(s)".

counterpart
USPTO Patent and Trademark Glossary
an application filed in a foreign patent office that is substantially similar to (like) the patent application filed with the USPTO and is based upon some or all of the same invention. The two applications would generally have the same applicant.

Here are some other links:

Was bedeutet "äquivalente Anmeldung"?
Eine äquivalente Anmeldung (auch bekannt als "korrespondierendes Dokument") ist ein repräsentatives Mitglied einer Patentfamilie.

What is an "equivalent"?
An equivalent (also known as a corresponding document) is a representative member of a patent family.
https://register.epoline.org/espacenet/help?quickHelpPage=fa...

äquivalente Anmeldungen {engl.: corresponding (or) equivalent applications; frz.: demandes f.pl. de brevets équivalents (ou) correspondants}, äquivalente Patente, äquivalente Schutzrechte,
korrespondierende Schutzrechte.

"Äquivalent(e)" might be another option, as that would cover both applications and patents.

Gegenstück(e)


Explanation:
Uexküll's Wörterbuch der Patent- und Markenpraxis offers Gegenstück for counterpart. Low CL though because I'm pressed for time at the moment and can't do a Google search to back it up.
