German term
Beschneidung
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Ein Problem stellt der Patentschutz dar, denn ein PLM-System ist weltweit verfügbar, auch etwa an chinesischen Standorten. Noch immer gibt es dort eine überdurchschnittlich hohe Fluktuationsrate, die zu einem ungewollten Knowhow-Abfluss führt. Insofern können auch einmal Beschneidungen und verschiedene Aktualitätsstandards wichtige Bestandteile eines PLM-Systems sein.
PLM=produce lifecycle management.
The company in question is a car component supplier.
Is "Beschneidung" being used in the sense of "limitation" here do you think?
TIA.

restriction
Probably 'functional restriction' in this case, but it could also mean eliminating certain features and/or functions. 'Functional restrictions' in the software context usually means that certain functions are essentially present in the software but have been disabled.
See the Oxford/Duden:

Bizarre use of the word for circumcision. If you consider circumcision to be a limitation then I would go for it :-)
Unless it is with a sense of an imposed limitation?
Good luck. Hopefully you get something more tangible (no pun intended!)
