Plain-English summary

Qualcomm Incorporated filed an infringement action at the Munich Local Division against Shenzhen Transsion Holdings and related entities for alleged infringement of EP 2 286 325 (card metaphor for computing activities). Following a settlement between Qualcomm and Transsion, Qualcomm withdrew the action; the court permitted the withdrawal, declared proceedings closed, ordered each party to bear its own costs per the settlement agreement, and awarded Qualcomm 60% reimbursement of court fees (EUR 18,600) as the withdrawal occurred before closure of the written procedure.

  • Settlement between Qualcomm and Defendant 1 (Transsion) provides valid basis for withdrawal of infringement action

    ClaimantLegal basis: R. 265.1 RoP

    Note: Defendants 1–4 consented; no legitimate interest asserted in having court decide the action.

  • 60% court fee reimbursement applies where action withdrawn before closure of written procedure

    ClaimantLegal basis: R. 370.9(b)(i) RoP

    Note: Withdrawal occurred before closure of written procedure, triggering EUR 18,600 reimbursement (60% of fees paid).

Rejected arguments
What the court did not agree with — and why.
