Decision by Munich Local Division (UPC_CFI_487/2023, 24 January 2025) permitting withdrawal of TCL defendants' counterclaims for revocation and FRAND-licence offer. 60% of court fees were reimbursed for the revocation counterclaim. The court held that court fees are payable for FRAND-licence offer counterclaims by analogy under R. 370 RoP, and that such fees had been properly paid so no full refund was warranted.
