notable
The Mannheim LD judge-rapporteur fixed the recoverable costs of the appeal that NUC won against Hurom and awarded about EUR 95,700 of EUR 120,300 claimed. Representation costs within the ceiling are judged by their overall proportionality, so the Court does not cut hours spent on one aspect such as a long section on national claim-construction law. Following Hanshow v VusionGroup, no costs of the cost decision procedure are recoverable, including the costs of preparing the R. 151 RoP application, because Art. 69 UPCA does not cover proceedings that determine the costs themselves. Costs of legal expert reports on national law, of a home-country external counsel attending the hearing and a strategy meeting, and of prior art searches for claim construction were refused for lack of substantiated necessity, while a joint in-person strategy meeting of the UPC representatives and the client was recoverable.
