  Application RoP262.1 (b)Öffentlich

  Zusammenfassung: Procedural order of the Nordic-Baltic Regional Division (full panel) on an anonymized applicant's request for access to pleadings and evidence under Rule 262.1(b) RoP in the Edwards Lifesciences v. Meril infringement proceedings (EP 2 628 464). The court set out important headnotes on public access: Art. 45 UPCA establishes a principle of openness of UPC proceedings including written procedure, and if an applicant has provided a credible explanation for seeking access, the application should be approved unless confidentiality is necessary. The court addressed whether the applicant's stated interest was sufficient to justify granting access.
