    Application RoP262A

    The Düsseldorf Local Division ruled on the partial release of an expert inspection report to Bekaert Binjiang (claimant), ordering redaction of trade secrets (prices, quantities, customer bank details) that were irrelevant to the infringement question, while authorising disclosure of technically relevant information such as wire coating characteristics.

    Ex parteRequest to review an order ex-parte

    The Düsseldorf Local Division ruled on Siltronic AG's application for review of an ex parte preservation of evidence and inspection order (R. 197.3 and .4 RoP) obtained by Bekaert Binjiang Steel Cord Co. against Siltronic AG and Hinterberger GmbH & Co. KG concerning EP 3 212 356 B1. The court confirmed that a preservation order may encompass the seizure of delivery notes and invoices, that the list in R. 196.1 is not exhaustive, and that such measures may be used to gather evidence of individual acts of use. The court upheld the order in substance.
