v.
Swarco Futurit Verkehrssignalsysteme - UPC_CoA_70/2025; PC-CoA-001/2025
1. A party and its representatives may only be subject to restrictions on access to and use of information and evidence in accordance with R. 262A RoP. A request under R. 262.2 RoP does not automatically grant provisional protection against the other party disclosing the information.
2. An order under R. 262A RoP requires the request to restrict access to or use of certain information or evidence to be made when the document is lodged (R. 262A.3 RoP). Therefore, a request made for the first time in appeal proceedings concerning information and evidence already submitted at the first instance is inadmissible.
3. Product characteristics that are not readily accessible to third parties but can only be determined after time-consuming analysis are trade secrets pursuant to Art. 58 UPCA if they are treated as confidential.
The Court of Appeal partially granted requests for confidentiality related to specific documents (allegedly) containing trade secrets. The requests were partially rejected since they were only made during the appeal stage. The CoA clarified that an application under RoP.262A must be made when filing the document that includes the (potentially) confidential information; a later application is inadmissible. The Court further rejected the application as too broad insofar as it included information that was already obtained by other means.
