French term or phrase: par unité

Can anyone help with this one please? I do not understand whether "par unité" refers to the individual item of information or some concept of information being in the public domain by it belonging to a particular category of information.

Any ideas please?

"Le Client reconnaît que l’ensemble des Droits de propriété Intellectuelle attaché aux Données ou au Logiciel sont la propriété du Fournisseur, de ses Filiales ou des Tiers Fournisseurs de Données, étant néanmoins précisé que certaines Données peuvent avoir un caractère public (+++par unité+++)."

Thank you!

each item

Explanation:
I suspect it means that the test of "caractère public" applies separately to each item of data.

Asker: Thanks, Rob. I see where you're going. I'm going to go with Carol cos I've translated it as "It is nonetheless acknowledged that certain Data may independently be in the public domain."
