Decision of the Court of Appeal (Panel 1) permitting withdrawal of Avago's appeal and counterclaim for revocation against a Hamburg Local Division decision in which the infringement action had been dismissed and the patent partially revoked. The Court of Appeal granted leave for withdrawal under Rule 265 RoP in appeal proceedings, holding that withdrawal is possible until the final decision becomes legally binding. As a consequence of the withdrawal of the revocation counterclaim, the pending requests to amend the patent became moot. The court also addressed reimbursement of court fees following the withdrawal.
