Summary: The Milan Local Division (Judge-Rapporteur) issued an order in the infringement action by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson against ASUSTek Computer, Arvato Netherlands and Digital River Ireland concerning EP 3 076 673. The defendants' applications under R. 262A and R. 262.2 RoP sought confidential treatment ('external eyes only') for certain Asustek documents in both the main action and the related counterclaim for revocation. The court ruled on the conditions for granting an 'external eyes only' regime, finding it available in cases of proven risk of conflict between the patent system and antitrust law.
