Zusammenfassung: Order from the Munich Central Division (Section) dated 23 July 2024 disposing of two revocation actions brought by Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine against Healios K.K., Riken and Osaka University. Both parties submitted a unanimous application under R. 360 RoP declaring that they concluded the actions by settlement and that the actions were devoid of purpose. The court held that parties may settle without seeking a confirmatory court decision under R. 365 RoP and declared the proceedings closed. A 20% reimbursement of court fees was granted under R. 370.9(c) RoP. Headnotes clarify that settlement-based closures are not limited to the formal R. 365 confirmation procedure.

Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine brought two revocation actions before the Munich Central Division against Healios K.K., Riken, and Osaka University concerning EP 3056563 and EP 3056564 (retinal pigment epithelial cell production method patents). The parties settled before any oral procedure and jointly applied under Rule 360 RoP for the actions to be declared devoid of purpose. The Central Division disposed of both actions and ordered 20% reimbursement of court fees, clarifying that settlement-based disposal under Rule 360 RoP qualifies for fee reimbursement even without a formal Rule 365 confirmatory decision.
