@TonyTK Cf. my answer and comment
verbal1 (asker) Nov 10, 2009:
Wording of Art. 5 (1) Die überlassenen Werkzeuge oder zukünftig zu überlassenden Werkzeuge bleiben Eigentum von (...). Diese Werkzeuge sind vom Vertragspartner durch Anbringung der Artikelnummer zu kennzeichnen.
TonyTK Nov 10, 2009:
We need the wording ... of Art 5. You kind of get the feeling they might have meant to say "gleichwohl". Perhaps something like "at the same time". Depends.
Monika Elisabeth Sieger Nov 10, 2009:
More context please! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
verbal1 (asker) Nov 10, 2009:
Previous two sentences Die Parteien sind sich darüber einig, dass eine Übereignung vom Vertragspartner auf ... nach § 930 sowie § 950 BGB erfolgt. In sofern gilt ... im Sinne des § 950 BGB als Hersteller.
Jon Fedler Nov 10, 2009:
redundant? IMO maybe it can be left out,though I would alsolike more context?
Michél Dallaserra Nov 10, 2009:
A little bit more context would be helpful I think.
Michél Dallaserra Nov 10, 2009:
Üblicherweise: "as it were" - doch hier auch?

"Nevertheless, the validity of §5 of this contract remains intact."
Peer comment(s):
agree TonyTK : Still not quite sure, but this looks likely. Hence my "at the same time" suggestion" - which has a slight contrasting note but has the advantage of being vague.

leave out

gleichsam = so to speak, quasi

but makes not sense here, just a filler, the author just liked to put in something unusual
