The Local Chamber Düsseldorf issued a procedural order concerning a request for simultaneous interpretation from German to Japanese for an oral hearing scheduled for September 17, 2026, in a patent infringement action involving European Patent EP 3 805 415 B1.

This procedural order concerns the defendant's request to classify certain information as confidential under Rule 262.2 of the Rules of Procedure. The defendant, BAG Diagnostics GmbH, sought protection for a settlement agreement and cease-and-desist declaration from prior injunction proceedings between the parties, as well as information about internal processes and distribution activities. The Local Chamber Düsseldorf granted the request, classifying the specified information as confidential, while noting that any general exclusion from third-party access would require a case-by-case balancing of interests under Rule 262.6.

The Local Chamber Düsseldorf granted the request in part, classifying sales figures, infrastructure details, enforcement consequences, and internal technical and commercial information as confidential, but rejected protection for customer names and customer-related information on the ground that such information was already publicly available. The preliminary order of June 17, 2026 was partially lifted to the extent it had covered customer information.
fiskaly GmbH, vertreten durch ihre Geschäftsführer Johannes v.Respondent
This case concerns European Patent EP 4 285 308 B8 and involves a dispute over confidentiality and access to an expert's findings following an inspection and evidence preservation order. The applicant, fiskaly GmbH, sought access to the summary infringement result from the expert Grannemann's detailed description, arguing it contained no trade secrets and that the information asymmetry hindered proper case management. The respondents, SwissBit AG and Swissbit Germany AG, opposed the request, arguing that if the underlying inspection order were found unlawful, all evidence obtained would be inadmissible, and therefore no information should be disclosed until the lawfulness of the order was determined.
