English translation: protective letter

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Schutzschrift
English translation:protective letter

19:22 Sep 24, 2001
German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: Schutzschrift
The context is a case about anticompetitive adveritsing and the sentence is

"Obwohl § 138 Absatz 1 ZPO auch für schriftsätzlichen Vortrag im Rahmen einer Schutzschrift gilt, präsentiert die Antragsgegnerin in ihrem Widerspruchsschriftsatz einen neuen Sachverhalt..."

I basically know what the meaning of the word is, but is there an equivalent in English?

Thanks in advance for any help!

patent


Explanation:
I think it may just be another word for "patent."

I can't find the word in any dictionary though.

precautionary defense statement


Explanation:
Schutzschrift


Die Schutzschrift ist ein vorbeugendes Verteidigungsmittel gegen den zu erwartenden Antrag auf Erlaß einer einstweiligen Verfügung in einem wettbewerbsrechtlichen Verfahren. Befürchtet ein Unternehmer, daß ein
Konkurrent ihm ein bestimmtes Verhalten gerichtlich verbieten lassen möchte oder hat er gar bereits eine Abmahnung erhalten und will auf diese aber nicht entsprechend reagieren, so kann er sich mit einer Schutzschrift verteidigen.

In consideration of this definition and lacking an exact Emglish/American equivalent, I would translate this term as precautionary defense statement.
Hope this helps a bit.
