(1) Any person who with sufficient likelihood uses a patented invention contrary to sections 9 to 13 may be sued by the rightholder or by another entitled person for production of a document or inspection of an item of which he or she has disposal or of a process which is the subject matter of the patent if this is necessary for the purpose of establishing the claims of the rightholder or another entitled person. Where there is sufficient likelihood of a legal infringement being committed on a commercial scale, the claim extends to the production of bank, financial or commercial documents. If the alleged infringer asserts that the information concerned is confidential, the court takes the measures necessary to ensure the specific protection required in an individual case.
(2) Claims under subsection (1) are ruled out if their assertion is disproportionate in an individual case.
(3) The obligation to produce a document or to acquiesce to the inspection of an item may be imposed by means of an injunction in accordance with sections 935 to 945 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The court takes the measures necessary to ensure the protection of confidential information. This in particular applies to those cases where the injunction is issued without giving a prior hearing to the opposing party.
(4) Section 811 of the Civil Code and section 140b (8) of this Act apply accordingly.
(5) If there was no infringement or no risk of infringement, the alleged infringer may claim compensation for the damage caused to him or her by the production or inspection sought in accordance with subsection (1) from the person who sought the production or inspection.
