Argument summary
- ›The earlier Board decision in appeal R0294/2019-3 had become final and ordered TrekStor GmbH, as invalidity applicant and appellant, to bear the costs of both the invalidity and appeal proceedings.
- ›ZAGG Inc., the design holder, then asked the Registry to fix the amount payable and filed a bill of costs with supporting evidence under Article 79(3) CDIR.
- ›Applying the maximum recoverable rates under Article 79(7) CDIR, the Registry fixed EUR 400 for representation in the invalidity proceedings and EUR 500 for representation in the appeal proceedings.
- ›This is a registry cost-fixing decision rather than a merits ruling on validity.
