Milan Local Division panel dismissed Ericsson's application for review (Rule 333 RoP) of the judge-rapporteur's order refusing to impose an 'external eyes only' confidentiality regime for license agreements submitted as FRAND evidence. The panel held that Ericsson failed to substantiate the specific antitrust risk from allowing one Asustek employee access to the documents. Leave to appeal was granted to allow the Court of Appeal to set a standard on external-eyes-only confidentiality regimes in SEP/FRAND cases.
