Generic Order
The Paris Local Division denied POSCO's application under R. 262.1(b) RoP to access the register of the infringement case (ArcelorMittal v. XPENG), because the action was at an early stage with no validity challenge yet filed and no sufficient justification for access based on parallel EPO opposition proceedings.
Legal issues:Third-party access to register under R. 262.1(b) RoPBalancing interests in infringement proceedings versus EPO opposition proceedingsRequirement for reasoned request for register access
