S UBJECT MATTER OF THE -P ROCEEDINGS
Infringement proceedings and counter claims for revocation
G ROUNDS
All parties to the proceedings requested withdrawal of their respective claims (above-mentioned infringement claim and counter claims for revocation). They requested the court render a decision declaring the proceedings closed. They indicated all parties consented to the withdrawal of the same and that a cost decision is not requested.
The application is admissible since there is no final decision in the actions in view of the pending appeal. In view of their consent, no party can be considered to have a legitimate interest in the actions being decided by the Court. The applications can thus be allowed.
Claimant's request for reimbursement of 20% of the court fees can be allowed as well (R. 370.9). In as far as necessary, the value of the actions is set at 4 million euro.
O RDER
The court:
- -allows the withdrawal of the action (UPC_CFI_424/2023; ACT_586899/2023, CC_13509/2024 and CC_13898/2024)
- -declares the proceedings closed;
- -orders that this decision shall be entered on the register;
- -declares that there is no need for a cost decision;
- -orders the claimant to be reimbursed 20% of the court fees paid, and thus an amount of EUR 7.400
- -sets the value of the cases at EUR 4.000.000.
