Article 6Obligation to Clarify Specific Circumstances

第六条(具体的態様の明示義務)

In litigation involving infringement that may harm business interests through unfair competition, if a person claims that their interests have been or are likely to be harmed by such infringement, and the opposing party denies the specific circumstances surrounding the things or process that constitute the alleged infringement, the opposing party must clarify the specific circumstances of their actions; provided, however, that this does not apply if the opposing party has adequate grounds for being unable to clarify them.
