German to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
"Das Anerkenntnis, das im Gesetz nich ausdruecklich genannt ist, ist nach herrschender Ansicht ein Feststellungsvertrag, mit dem Streitigkeiten oder Zweifel ueber ein Bestand oder den Umfang eines Rechts durch einseitiges Nachgeben des Schuldners beseitigt werden."

One term I found is settlement contract, but I have already used the term settlement in a different part of this paper. Does anyone know of a more specific term?

Peer comment(s):

agree SelecTra : mit Charles Stanford, finde aber diese Übersetzung (gerade auch in Analogie zu declaratory judgment) besser, denn jeder Vertrag ist ein 'agreement determining [a] legal relationship between the parties'

agreement determining the legal relationship between the parties

This is not a settlement agreement - it is an agreement concluded to establish/lay down certain facts/situations/relationships. Something along the lines of a memorandum of understanding. cf. http://ruessmann.jura.uni-sb.de/BiH-Project/Obligationsgeset...
"Durch einen Feststellungsvertrag stellen die Parteien das Bestehen oder Nichtbestehen eines ihrer Verfügungsmacht unterliegenden Rechtsverhältnisses zwischen ihnen"

(contract of) accord and satisfaction

The... 'durch einseitiges Nachgeben des Schuldners' implies that the debtor is giving way, though often it is the creditor who relents and grants indulgence to the debtor who gives something - money or goods - less than the value of the debt.

The accord word of itself subsumes the agreement idea.
Example sentence:

Accord and satisfaction is defined as an agreement to discharge a claim whereby the parties agree to give and accept something, usually less than what is owed
