utility protection coverage gen.

[Warfolomej]

Уважаемые коллеги.Челом бью и помощи прошу. Тут это, как бы в общем, вот в этом вот контексте:
However, if any such data and information was known and
documented by the receiving party prior to the time of disclosure by ххх GmbH, or was in the
public domain and freely available to the general public at the time of disclosure by ххх
GmbH, or becomes generally available to the public through sources other than ххх GmbH,
after disclosure by ххх GmbH, then the receiving party shall firstly inform ххх GmbH and
then be free to use such data and information subject to any patent/ utility protection coverage
хххGmbH may have or may subsequently obtain thereon.

с словосочетанием utility protection coverage засада полная((. Вроде как, что-то с защитой прав собственности связано.
