routine
In SharkNinja's appeal against the Paris Local Division's refusal of provisional measures (UPC_CFI_1594/2025), the Court of Appeal ruled on Groupe SEB's R. 262A and R. 262.2 RoP requests to protect commercial market-data passages in SEB's Statement of Response and confidential exhibits. The Court treated the information as confidential and ordered protective measures, but defined the confidentiality club more broadly than SEB sought — granting access not only to SharkNinja's UPC representatives and internal assistants but to three of SharkNinja's representatives (two from its legal department and one from its commercial department), against SEB's proposal to limit access to two legal-department persons. SharkNinja had invoked fairness and equal treatment under Art. 42(2) UPCA, noting the Court had earlier (order of 22 May 2026) granted four SEB representatives access to SharkNinja's own confidential sales data. The Court also dismissed SEB's request to disregard SharkNinja's new arguments, new exhibit CRA-29 and the newly-identified competing 'Ninja Foodi' models first raised in the grounds of appeal, and gave SharkNinja at least one week after access to file additional comments. The anonymised order reproduces the facts, requests, submissions and operative directions but not the Court's full reasoning.
