Saab requires that all installations of the above- captioned device be performed by Saab’s personnel, who are the sole source of maintenance for the gauges. Additionally, Saab maintains records on the sale and installation of all such gauges worldwide. To assist in assuring that we receive the full value of our license and protect our competitive posture, we respectfully request grant of confidentiality for all information mentioned above.
