Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache

Cretes NV (Belgium) brought an infringement action against Hyler BV (Belgium) concerning EP 3 993 602 and EP 4 284 152, patents for a device and method for harvesting textile hemp; Hyler filed a counterclaim for revocation. The Brussels Local Division confirmed the parties' settlement agreement under R. 365(1) RoP and addressed the reimbursement of court fees, applying a pragmatic set-off between fees already paid and outstanding fees owed, with the court invoking both R. 370(9)(c) and R. 370(9)(e) RoP to reach a fair outcome.
