Summary: The Düsseldorf Local Division resumed the stayed proceedings, permitted ETRI's withdrawal of its infringement action against Meta (EP 3 258 692) and Meta's withdrawal of its counterclaim for revocation (UPC_CFI_1653/2026) after an out-of-court settlement, declared both closed with no cost decision needed, set each value in dispute at EUR 1,000,000 and ordered 50% of each action's court fees reimbursed, rejecting ETRI's request for 60%.
