Aufgabe der Erfindung

English translation: object of the invention

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Aufgabe der Erfindung
English translation:object of the invention

German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
German term or phrase: Aufgabe der Erfindung
From a patent:
"Aufgabenstellung
Aufgabe der Erfindung

[0008] Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Vorrichtung..."
I have taken "Terms of reference" for "Aufgabenstellung"
Is "Aufgabe der Erfindung" "Purpose of the invention" or is there a better way of phrasing it for a patent? I am not VERY experienced with patent translation work!
