Decision by default issued by the President of the Court of Appeal rejecting NJOY Netherlands B.V.'s appeal as inadmissible under Rule 229.4 RoP. NJOY had appealed the Paris Central Division's dismissal of its revocation action against EP 2 875 740 held by VMR Products LLC. After being invited to pay the EUR 20,000 appeal fee, NJOY explicitly informed the Court it would not pay because it did not wish to pursue the appeal, and expressly waived its right to be heard. The appeal was accordingly rejected as inadmissible for failure to pay the required fee.
