German term
Hauptanspruchsbegehren
German to English
Law/Patents
Patents
Response to an opposition letter
Die sonstigen Unteransprüche schliessen sich inhaltlich unverändert mit entsprechend geänderten Rückbeziehungen an das dahingehende Hauptanspruchsbegehren an.
I know Begehren means desire, what is desired/requested, but I wonder if there is a specific legal term for Hauptanspruchsbegehren.
Here's my attempt:
With the content unchanged but with suitably altered back references, the other subordinate claims are connected to the relevant subject matter of the main claim.

Not necessarily. See

And I don't think "subordinate" is right either. See last part here:

We could argue about whether "Hauptanspruch" should be called an independent or main claim in the States, but I'm pretty certain the part you're not asking about is a "dependent claim":
