agree  hazmatgerman: Agree with intention; would simple "pointing" do?//"intention" with ref. to "not trendsetting". Regards.

  -> thank you; suppose you wanted to say direction rather than intention; whether pointing alone is appropriate in this context, I cant say.
agree  Ken Cox: with pointing (but then again this is patent language, which has its own rules and idiosyncrasies)
19 mins
  -> thank you; the verb to point is definitely better than to indicate.
agree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)
