Summary: Mannheim Local Division order confirming the withdrawal by consent of Panasonic Holdings Corporation's infringement action and the joint counterclaim for revocation filed by Xiaomi group entities and Odiporo GmbH / Shamrock Mobile GmbH concerning multiple patents (standard-essential patents in the mobile technology field), following an out-of-court settlement between the parties. The proceedings were declared closed in their entirety. Each party bears its own costs. The court also addressed court fee reimbursement: Panasonic must pay an additional EUR 13,400 in court fees (due to increased case value of EUR 8,000,000); defendants receive 20% reimbursement of their counterclaim fees (EUR 4,000). The case value was set at EUR 8,000,000.
