Confidentiality club protection for trade secrets and confidential information, restricting use or disclosure outside of the present court proceedings.  (Rule 262A RoP, Article 9 Trade Secrets Directive). 

 

The existence of a trade secret does not have to be established to the court's satisfaction, but it is sufficient if this is predominantly probable. 

 

The following information relating to the internal organization, the supply chain and sales data of the Gucci group are classified as confidential pursuant to R. 262A RoP. 

 

Restricting the use of confidential instead of limiting access thereto, does not endanger the right of the other party right to be heard and the right to argue its case successfully and does not does not require the same strict balancing of interest as a limitation of access within the proceedings.
