The Munich Local Division issued a costs order following the discontinuation of provisional measures proceedings after the respondents (Meril) provided an undertaking to cease the contested acts. The court found the proceedings had become moot, declared the PI application resolved, and ordered the respondents to bear the applicant's costs up to a ceiling of EUR 200,000, holding that respondents had unnecessarily caused those costs.
