    Appeal decisionAppeal RoP220.2

    The Court of Appeal issued a final order on the protection of confidential information (R. 262A RoP) in the Ericsson v. ASUS infringement proceedings. The Court established a confidentiality club granting access to: court representatives and their assistants, Ericsson's licensing expert Robert Mills (Berkeley Research Group), ASUS's licensing expert Philip Kline (EconEdge), and one natural person from each party. Persons with access to confidential licence agreement information may not participate in or advise upon patent licensing negotiations with the relevant counterparties for five years.
