Patrick Newlands speaks on the CoA's clarification on both the procedural route for challenging decisions on access to documents and the substantive approach to granting such access. 

The appeal arose from an application by Quinn Emanuel for access to pleadings in concluded infringement proceedings between Huawei and MediaTek. The Judge Rapporteur had granted access subject to redactions, a decision upheld by the Munich Local Chamber (LC). 

Huawei sought to challenge that outcome, arguing both that the application should not have been granted and that the procedural route adopted was incorrect.
