German term

im Verfahren

German to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
As used in this context:
Diesseitigen Erachtens ist der Hauptanspruch, wie er für die Prüfung der EP 1 549 505 A1 vorgelegt wurde, derart weit und umfassend formuliert, daß es sehr unwahrscheinlich ist, daß ein Patent mit einem Hauptanspruch entsprechend Anspruch 1, wie er sich im Verfahren befindet, erteilt wird.
Does this simply mean, "as it is presently formulated?" "in its present form?"

in its present form

Yes, John, that is how I would put it. It means 'the claim as it is formulated in the current (examination) proceedings', but I don't think it is necessary to expressly mention the proceedings here.

in the claim

I think the Verfahren is the patent claim (i.e. claim made in the patent application) that includes "Anspruch 1".
Peer comment(s):

neutral Brie Vernier : So, "a patent with a main claim corresponding to claim 1 as found in the claim"??

Well, perhaps not!
disagree Ingrid Blank : Verfahren is not claim

On re-reading and further thinking, I agree with you!

as dealt with in the proceedings

Possibly "Verfahren" here refers to the patent examination proceedings?
Peer comment(s):

agree Edith Kelly : In any case, I already agreed before but seems to have disappered
