Dutch term or phrase: vormgevingsruimte
"Een ander opvallend element van [product X] is de bolvormige knop, die extra opvalt omdat deze rood is. Ook deze ontbreekt in het gedeponeerde model. Hier komt bij dat alle overige onderdelen, binnen de beperkte *vormgevingsruimte* die blijkens het bovenstaande ten aanzien van de onderdelen van de [product] bestaat, er duidelijk anders uitzien dan die van [partij B]."

The highlighted term in the above excerpt is what I'm after in a different source text. How should this term be interpreted here? TIA for your asssistance.

Cheers,
R.

designing liberties


Explanation:
limited designing liberties.

Het gaat hier om het ontwerpen niet het ontwerp. De vrijheid die je in dit geval nog net hebt, wil het niet als plagiaat worden gezien. Het ontwerp is daarvan het resultaat.
