Decision from the Munich Local Division (UPC_CFI_498/2023) declaring the infringement action by NEC against TCL entities closed following a contractual settlement reached before closure of the written proceedings. NEC withdrew the infringement action (R. 265 RoP) and requested 60% reimbursement of court fees, relying on the settlement. The Court confirmed each party would bear its own costs and addressed the fee reimbursement request.
