Düsseldorf Local Division allowed withdrawal of Dolby International AB's infringement action (EP 3 490 258 B1) and ASUS's counterclaim for revocation, following an out-of-court settlement. The court confirmed both withdrawals and terminated all proceedings, ordered each party to bear its own legal costs (no cross-reimbursement), directed reimbursement of 60% of court fees to claimant (EUR 22,200) and 60% to the counterclaiming defendants (EUR 12,000 total), and set the value in dispute at EUR 3,500,000 for both the infringement action and the counterclaim.
