The Hamburg Local Division granted Fraunhofer's request under R. 190 RoP for a third party (a licensing pool administrator) to produce comparable Opus standard licence agreements, and imposed a confidentiality regime classifying those documents as Highly Confidential Information with restricted access. Neither the defendants nor the third party objected to the request.
