Mannheim Local Division order (presiding judge and judge-rapporteur Tochtermann) on Xiaomi entities' confidentiality protection application (R. 262A RoP) seeking elevated access restrictions on two of three third-party licence agreements submitted as exhibits in infringement proceedings by Panasonic Holdings Corporation against Xiaomi entities concerning EP 2 568 724. The order grants a confidentiality regime consistent with existing protections established in the case but does not grant the additional restrictions requested by Xiaomi for two of the three licence agreements. Alternative requests (to exclude the documents or treat them as not filed) were also addressed.
