This is a case of XXX in this patent
Hello,
I'm not sure if this would work well or not. I'm still not clear as to the context.

Discussion
I do see where you're coming from with saying "mean/refer to". I think there various ways of saying this, though.
Travelin Anne's suggestion could work, though, in other contexts.
This is found in the body of texts discussing technical terms such as "dans ce brevet on parlera de caractéristique élevée de balayage lorsque celle-ci ......................"
Ici on parle d'asservissement de la fréquence.
etc.
