Düsseldorf Local Division determined costs in UPC_CFI_7/2023 (Franz Kaldewei GmbH & Co. KG v Bette GmbH & Co. KG, first-ever UPC decision on the merits). The court ordered Bette (the unsuccessful defendant) to reimburse Kaldewei EUR 84,950 in total costs, rejecting Bette's challenge to the reasonableness of the amount. The court noted the extra effort required for the first substantive UPC decision as a justification for higher costs.
