Grammar
can you help with this comparsion sentences
The present invention has any advantageous effect different from that of another invention."
My question is "should the use of that in the above be considered incorrect grammatically" So, the above sentence should be rendered like
this " The present invention has any advantageous effect different from the demonstrated invention."
Q 2
Likewise,
" There has been no difficulty or advantageous effect of the present invention different from that of another invention."
In the same vein as under Q 1, should the use of "that of" in the above be considered grammtically incorrect. I am a little unsure whether the above sentence is grammtically correct or not.
Should the above sentnece be rendered as " There has been no constitutional difficulty or advantageous effect therefrom different from another demonstrated invention."
Thanks for your answers and time in advance

Hi, I'm glad you posted this again, because the earlier thread in which we were discussing it seems to have been deleted. I told you the first sentence, for example, was basically impossible to understand as written. ie The present invention has any advantageous effect different from that of another invention Can we look at a simpler example?

- eg The taste of Pepsi is better than that of Coke.
- If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if the words 'that of' are grammatical.
