The Hague Local Division declared the proceedings closed in both the infringement claim (Adeia v. Walt Disney) and the counterclaim for revocation, following the parties' mutual withdrawal of their actions under R.265.1 RoP after reaching a settlement. The court reimbursed 40% of the court fees paid, corresponding to the stage of proceedings at time of withdrawal (after interim procedure but before oral procedure). The settlement terms were not disclosed.
