  Application RoP262.1 (b)Öffentlich

  Zusammenfassung: The Hague Local Division granted law firm Powell Gilbert LLP's application for public access to the written pleadings and evidence in the provisional measures proceedings between Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. and Sibio Technology Limited / Umedwings Netherlands B.V. concerning EP 2 713 879 (a continuous glucose monitoring patent), following the conclusion of those proceedings by a final order. The court applied the Ocado v AutoStore criteria and held that Powell Gilbert had a legitimate interest in understanding the decision, and that the protection-of-integrity interest no longer applied once proceedings had ended at first instance (even if an appeal was pending, per CoA precedent). Annex E1 (confidential) was subject to further consideration.
