German term

liff. and lift.

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) Swiss court opinion
In court's citing to document exhibits, for example:
(Exhibit 1, liff. 32). Latin phrases being abbreviated? Both abbreviations appear about equally so I don't think one is a typo spelling of the other. 4PM EST deadline, so any help would be appreciated!

I suspect that this is a typo created by faulty OCR conversion from a pdf. I have had a similar case. If you are working from a Word document supplied by the vendor, ask for the original pdf and see whether this really should be "Ziff."
