Linguee is not a bad resource, but it does need a certain intelligence level to separate the wheat from the chaff. You are right here to be wary of its offering; Linguee does no more than harvest the Internet to find translations of words and terms, and it does not, nor has it ever claimed to, guarantee the correctness of ANY of these harvests. It is merely an ever-growing compendium of what we, as translators, have been doing - and haven't some of us made idiots of ourselves...It is also up to US to find the right context, and accept or reject the fruits of their harvests accordingly.

That's why Linguee has to be approached first and foremost with an open mind, then with intelligence...

Just want to agree with internal. Look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_right
About half way down, internal priority rights are explained, and yes, it seems to be concerning patent laws.

@ Ruth I had thought about that, too. I just need to be sure, that the term is correct for use on a patent application.

Ruth Wöhlk Mar 24, 2013:

if you don't like "domestic" why not use "internal" ?

Heike Holthaus (asker) Mar 24, 2013:

Into English and sorry for the typo "Priorität" of course

German-English Even though the question has been posted entirely in German, I assume you are working on a translation into Englisch?
