without any previous portent

French translation: sans aucun signe avant coureur

Law/Patents - Law (general) / Sentence arbitrale - CCI
English term or phrase: without any previous portent
Moreover, it is troubling that this "threat" of claim actually materialized on 22222, i.e. less than one month after the Closing of 22222, when XXXXX challenged the Patent no. ------ before the French Courts. It is doubtful that these claims were filed right after the Closing day (d'un Share Purchase Agreement), completely unexpectedly and without any previous portent, especially from the generics.

Merci.

Explanation:
These seem suitable to me if we stick to a technical (legal) definition. Otherwise, "signe annonciateur" would probably be better.
