CD Paris (Panel 2, Catallozzi presiding) permitted Bentley Motors to withdraw its revocation action against NST's EP 1 552 399 under Rule 265(1) RoP. Two interpretive points of general application: (i) R. 265(1) does not require the respondent's express consent — providing an opportunity to comment, with no objection filed in time, is sufficient (and a late express consent is still admissible because the comment deadline is not preclusive); and (ii) contrary to the standard reading of R. 265(2)(c), the CD panel held that where neither party requests a cost decision, no cost ruling needs to be issued, because the Rule's mandatory cost-decision language presupposes a request.
