non sostanziale

English translation: non substantial

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Patents / termination of patent exchange agreement
Italian term or phrase: non sostanziale
D'altro canto l'articolo 1.1. fa riferimento solo ai robots che "incorporate devices covered by one or more claims of 'Patents'..." e ricomprende tra i 'Licensed Products" ogni "non material changes to such models", dove "non material" è sinonimo di "non sostanziale" o "non essenziale" e si riferisce alle caratteristiche tecniche indicate all'inizio della stessa frase.

Non sono sicura di poter tradurre con "Not fundamental", vorrei essere tranquilla...

grazie mille

English translation:non substantial
Explanation:
Since sostanza and sostanziale are virtually perfect synonyms of substance and substantial, I would stick to the literal translation here, since it is legal.

Explanation:
Prima avrei lasciato 'material', ma secondo il testo l'inglese non vuole il doppio negativo. Specialmente in una formula legale.
