Plain-English summary

Adeia Guides Inc. sued Walt Disney entities for infringement of EP 1 969 839 B1 (an interactive media guidance system patent). Both the infringement action and the counterclaim for revocation were withdrawn after the parties settled; the Hague Local Division declared proceedings closed, reimbursed 20% of court fees for each action (reflecting the stage after interim conference but before oral procedure), and rejected the defendants' request for a higher 40% reimbursement.
