routine
The Mannheim LD permitted the partial withdrawal of Corning's infringement action against Hisense (Defendants 1-2) while proceedings continue against TCL (Defendants 3-6), plus permitted Hisense's withdrawal of its counterclaim for revocation. The court held that R. 265.1 applies to partial withdrawals and that while a cost decision is normally required under R. 265.2(c), it can be waived for full withdrawals by consent — but for partial withdrawals, the court must ensure remaining parties are not burdened with costs of the withdrawn part. 40% fee reimbursement granted for the counterclaim under old R. 370.9(b)(ii).
