Plain-English summary

MANN+HUMMEL GmbH filed an application for provisional measures against SOTRAS S.R.L. concerning EP 2 762 219 (cup-shaped housing for liquid-air separation) at the Munich Local Division; the parties subsequently reached an out-of-court settlement in which MANN+HUMMEL agreed to withdraw and SOTRAS agreed to the withdrawal and not to seek costs. The court permitted the withdrawal, declared proceedings closed, ordered no inter partes cost reimbursement, and granted MANN+HUMMEL 60% reimbursement (EUR 6,600) of court fees under R. 370.9(b)(i) applied by analogy.
