French term

en toute hypothèse

French to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
Etant observé que le demande ne vise pes les dispositions du règlement communautaire, en toute hypothése, contrairement aux allégations de A..., la dénomination C... n'est pas devenue la désignation usuelle et générique des produits de boissons gazeuses.

Is the "en toute hypothèse" referring to the "le demande ne vise pas les dispositions..." or to the "la dénomination C n'est pas devenue..."?

And how would you translate it?

thank you
agree Richard Benham : How I'd read it, though it's outside my field. (You'd expect no comma and "en toute hypothèse" possibly placed earlier if it modified the first clause of the sentence.)

Just seen this in a text I am working on and was curious to see other readings. In my source text, it read well as "in any event".
