「（２）　段落００４８－００４９等を参酌すると、特許を受けようとする発明における「呼吸パラメータθb」が不明瞭であり、「デジタル肺モデル」、「肺モデル」も抽象的な記載しかなく、どのようなモデルが発明に包含されるのか不明瞭である。」









翻訳例

(2) With reference to paragraphs 0048, 0049, etc., the “ventilation parameter θb” of the invention for which a patent is sought is unclear, and the “digital lung model” and “lung model “ are merely described in an abstract manner, and thus, it is unclear what types of models are encompassed by the invention.





解説

If the phrase “抽象的な記載” were translated as “described abstractly,” this could be interpreted in various manners by the end client. As such, a slightly more succinct translation such as “described in an abstract manner” removes all ambiguity. While this may not seem like a significant difference, it is better to err on the side of caution and be as explicit and accurate as possible to prevent any possible misinterpretation.
