Order from the Court of Appeal (UPC_CoA_520/2024) on Scandit's application for 20% reimbursement of court fees under R. 370.11 RoP following the withdrawal of Hand Held Products' appeal against a preliminary injunction. The CoA had previously granted a PI at first instance against Scandit for indirect infringement of EP 3 866 051; Hand Held Products later withdrew its application for provisional measures and the appeal proceedings were declared closed. The Court decided on whether the withdrawal before closure of oral proceedings qualified for fee reimbursement.
