v.
Elemental Benelux et al. - UPC-CFI-0001612/2025
routine
The Hague LD set the confidentiality regime for Elemental's Statement of Defence and Exhibit ES5, classifying the highlighted technical process information as 'Confidential Information' under Art. 58 UPCA and R. 262A RoP. The court rejected the defendants' attempt to restrict claimant-side access, allowing Umicore's designated natural person plus any technical experts engaged, on the basis that the same information had already been exchanged under a broader pre-existing NDA. The defendants' request to pre-emptively block any future R. 262.3 RoP public-access application was dismissed as premature. The court also held that Umicore's R. 29(a) RoP reply period starts only when it receives the unredacted Statement of Defence and exhibits.
