French term or phrase: ces éléments sont en effet communs avec la présente invention
Good evening,

I am translating a "note d'observation" and am wondering if this is a term usually used in these type of documents or not?

Here is the sentence, it comes after a short description about the invention:

Ces éléments sont en effet communs avec la présente invention et sont du reste repris dans l'introduction de la deuxième revendication.

Please help, I just can't make good english out of this!

Thank you
