notable
The Düsseldorf Local Division issued a detailed cost fixation decision after patent revocation and infringement dismissal. The court held that reasonable means objectively necessary from the perspective of a rational party. Travel costs for two party representatives were reasonable. Expert costs for scientific computation accepted, but moot-court costs and redundant barrister consultation rejected. Most importantly, representation costs for the cost proceedings themselves are not recoverable — costs upon costs is not envisaged in the Rules and would incentivize over-investment in summary proceedings.
