The Munich Local Division denied the applications by Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, Texas Instruments Inc., and Texas Instruments Deutschland GmbH for security for costs against Network System Technologies LLC (NST), the claimant domiciled in the US. The court held that mere foreign domicile is insufficient to order security, and that defendants failed to provide concrete evidence of actual difficulties in enforcing a cost order against NST.
