- 2025-02-20Application RoP262.1 (b)
The Milan Local Division denied Bhagat Textile Engineers' application for access to the counterclaim for revocation file under Rule 262.1(b) RoP, finding the information sought could be obtained through other means and that access would compromise the integrity of ongoing settlement negotiations.

Application by Bhagat Textile Engineers for public access under R.262.1(b) RoP to the counterclaim for revocation case file (Himson v. Oerlikon) in proceedings before the Milan Local Division was rejected. The court held that the information sought was obtainable from other public sources, that Bhagat had already been found to infringe the patent in parallel proceedings and had procedurally chosen not to challenge the patent, and that granting access would compromise the integrity of pending settlement negotiations between the parties.
