GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:antes citada
English translation:Aforementioned
Entered by: Gad Kohenov

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright / trademarks
Spanish term or phrase: antes citada
This may be a dead obvious one, but it is in a legal document...so I am not entirely comfortable with this.

Por otra parte, según la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia, el riesgo de confusión es tanto más elevado cuanto mayor resulta ser el carácter distintivo de la marca anterior (sentencia SABEL, antes citada, apartado 24).

Is there an abbreviation in English for this?

Thank you!

Op. cit. Is more common for books etc. cited by academicians.
I see it a lot in academic articles I have to translate.

Op. cit.


Explanation:
"Op. cit. (Latin, short for "opus citatum"/"opere citato," meaning "the work cited/from the cited work") is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation to refer the reader to an earlier citation. To find the Op. cit. source, one has to look at the previous footnotes or general references section to find the relevant author.

In legal citation, the phrase refers to the cited source immediately previous to the last cited source."
