Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Italian term or phrase: pregresso di una parte
This is from a service agreement between a telecoms company and an IT services company that will be providing help desk services.
The definitions include "pregresso", so I understand what it means, but I don't know what to call it.

Pregresso di una Parte: l’insieme dei dati, informazioni, idee, metodi software e altre conoscenze e relativi IPR, concepiti, attuati, sviluppati messi in pratica da detta Parte o che detta Parte abbia lecitamente acquisito in proprietà o in licenza da terzi prima dell’entrata in vigore del presente Contratto o successivamente, ma comunque al di fuori dell’ambito della esecuzione dei Servizi, indipendentemente da detta esecuzione e senza inadempienze di detta Parte alle disposizioni del presente Contratto

existing know-how


Explanation:
It literally means "past" or 'legacy". You could also say previous know-how, or existing intellectual property.
I wouldn't bother translating "di una parte" here.

agree  James (Jim) Davis: I would use "legacy" because it gives the idea of something you are lumbered with.
