The Paris Central Division granted Microsoft Corporation's application for confidential treatment (R. 262A RoP) of an exhibit containing invoices from its law firm, including details of hours spent and fees agreed, filed in the cost decision proceedings against Suinno (ACT_34440/2025 / UPC_CFI_724/2025, EP 2 671 173). The Court held that fee invoices and billing details qualify as confidential information under R. 262A because they reveal the client's financial standing, patent asset valuation strategy, and are covered by attorney-client privilege under R. 287 RoP.
