Decision by Düsseldorf Local Division (UPC_CFI_16/2024, 22 April 2025) on costs assessment (Kostenfestsetzung) following Ortovox's successful infringement action against Mammut for EP 3 466 498 B1. The court ruled that using multiple attorneys is permissible for cost recovery purposes where no duplicate costs are generated; PI costs and main proceedings costs have separate caps and are separately reimbursable.
