German term or phrase: Merkmalsverwirklichung
This concerns a dispute about a video/audio device:
"..weshalb man bei der Befolgung der Standards die zur Merkmalsverwirklichung führenden Optionen nicht anwandte". Realization of characteristics? or how would you call it?

realisation of the features
Explanation:
"features" is the normal term for the characteristics of a device claimed to be novel in a patent or trademark, which is presumably what is under dispute here.

implementation of features


Explanation:
If the document were one that engineers would use (for instance, a functional requirements specification), the common term would be "implementation of features". I didn't see the term "Merkmalsverwirklichung" at all in the WIPO Patentscope database (see link under "Web references"), so I can't comment on how it's generally translated in the patent world.
