Scandit AG v.Hand Held Products, Inc.
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court rejected Scandit AG's application for a 20% refund of court fees following the withdrawal of Hand Held Products' request for preliminary measures. The court held that the withdrawal, filed after the oral hearing had already taken place on January 9, 2025, did not qualify for the 20% refund under Rule 370.9(b)(iii) RoP, because the oral proceedings had already been concluded with the end of the oral hearing.
Scandit AG v.Hand Held Products, Inc.
This is a decision of the Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court concerning a withdrawal request under Rule 265.1 of the Rules of Procedure.

The Court of Appeal rejected Amazon's application, holding that the information sought to be protected was already covered by an existing protective order issued by the Local Division Munich on December 19, 2024, which continued to apply during the appeal proceedings. The Court further found that Amazon's application was insufficiently specific regarding any information not already covered by the existing protective order.
