Clarification request(s) and response
Chetan Sampat: 2:39am Dec 18, 2006: Thank you for your question on 'geb'. Honestly, I can't seem to come up with any suggestions on my own, but then if 'gebunden' makes sense in the context and if no other answer suggestions have been received, why not give it a try?
Chetan Sampat: 2:40am Dec 18, 2006: Which one would fit in better: 'TS associated' or 'associated special search', I wonder?

special search
Explanation:
For TS please check out the web reference given below. The example sentences are copy-pasted from the webpage.

No guesses on 'geb' [though I'm tempted to offer 'geboren' as a possibility]

Example sentence(s):
  • "The TS or special search is a search made following an agreement between the client and the EPO on the subject and scope of the search."
  • Even though the scope of a TS can be much broader than the scope of an RS, its character remains technical and it cannot be used to provide an expert opinion on the legal value of a patent, especially a European patent.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I imagine it might mean "gebunden", which would make sense with your suggestion, something like TS associated?

Asker: Or TS based?

Asker: in the patent world everyboy will know what TS means...
