UPC – Insulet v. EOFLOW / Confidentiality of Costs

05 Jun 2025

Insulet Corporation v. EOFLOW Co., Ltd., UPC, Central Division Milan, 5 June 2025, Case no. UPC_CFI_477/2025

“In principle, the costs of the proceedings are not covered by confidentiality under Rule 262A RoP or by the attorney-client privilege unless they are specifically indicative of the company’s financial capacity, its commercial strategy, or the importance of the patent as a corporate asset.

“Applying these principles, confidentiality as a general principle might also be granted to costs incurred by companies for legal services relating to litigation and patent protection, since this information might indicate the importance that companies attach to the patents they hold and the risk they are willing to take to protect them.”
