Confidentiality club as agreed by parties: external eyes only request rejected (Article 58 UPCA, R. 262A RoP).
In the opinion of the Court, it is therefore possible to order the adoption of an “external eyes only” regime, at least in cases where there is an actual and proven risk of conflict between the patent system and antitrust law and provided that the further conditions set out in the provisions of the above-mentioned European Commission communication are also met.
