notable
The Düsseldorf Local Division resumed proceedings it had stayed at the parties' joint request, permitted the mutually consented withdrawals of an infringement action and the counterclaim for revocation under R. 265.2(a) RoP, and closed the proceedings. No cost decision was made because neither party requested reimbursement of costs, following the Court of Appeal in DexCom v Abbott. On court fees, the claimant sought 60% reimbursement under the pre-2026 wording of R. 370.9(b)(i) RoP because its action was filed in 2025; the Court instead applied the current wording and ordered 50%, holding that the date of the withdrawal and reimbursement application, not the filing date of the action, determines which version applies, following the Court of Appeal in Black Sheep v HL Display. The value of each action was set at EUR 1,000,000.
