UPC CoA 826/2024

The Court of Appeal granted Microsoft's application for confidentiality protection (Rule 262A RoP) of Exhibit BP 01 (a confidential global licence and settlement offer from Suinno) filed in a discretionary review application. The exhibit was ordered not to be made available to the public.

The Court of Appeal (standing judge) dismissed Microsoft Corporation's request for discretionary review (R. 220.3 RoP) of the Paris Central Division order granting Suinno leave to reduce its damages claim under R. 263 RoP (UPC_CFI_164/2024). The Court held that an unconditional application to reduce the amount of damages claimed constitutes a proper application under R. 263.3 RoP, and that the value of the action and fee determination is the responsibility of the judge-rapporteur during the interim procedure.
