Order on a public-access application (R. 262.1(b) RoP) filed by DMV industrijski kontrolni sistemi d.o.o. seeking access to pleadings and evidence in an ongoing infringement case (SWARCO Futurit v. STRABAG, Vienna Local Division) involving EP 2 643 717. The court held that, for pending proceedings, a third-party applicant must show a legally qualified interest (beyond mere informational or economic interest) to outweigh the interest in protecting the integrity of ongoing proceedings. The application was denied as the proceedings were still pending.
