Summary: Order of the Düsseldorf Local Division (full panel) on Ona Patents SL's applications for reimbursement of court fees and release of security for costs following withdrawal of the infringement action against Apple Inc. and related entities. The parties agreed to cover their own costs. The court ordered reimbursement of 40% of court fees (EUR 20,000) under Rule 370.9(b)(ii) RoP, treating the case as equivalent to withdrawal in the interim procedure given the depth of the judge-rapporteur's involvement (an August 2025 order requesting extensive documentation comparable to a Rule 103 order). The security provided by Ona Patents was released under Rule 352.2 RoP.
