Evidently, it cannot be ruled out, from a technical point of view, that substantial similarity in design in its copyright sense ¨C and, thus, copyright exempt from any reverse engineering exceptions to infringements and consequently rather ¡°strong¡± ¨C will be present in a more ¡±modern¡± product, unknown to today¡¯s manufacturers and users of that product.
My question is related to the following part:
"¨C and, thus, copyright exempt from any reverse engineering exceptions to infringements and consequently rather ¡°strong¡± ¨C"
My understanding:
1. This phrase is a clarification of the term "its copyright sense".
2. Reverse engineering is not regarded as infringements to copyright in certain cases. But if all reverse engineerings are seen as infringement, then the copyright protection must be rather strong.
Please comment if my understanding is correct.

1. The phrase is rather an extension to the "its copyright sense", in that it refers to reverse engineering scenarios, and the possibility of a product in future that is a more modern avataar of the present one.
2. _All_ reverse engineerings cannot be seen as infringement. This actually is a gray area, afaik.
