Argument summary
- ›In the final appeal decision of 17 June 2020, the Board had already ordered the invalidity applicant TrekStor to bear the procedural costs.
- ›The design holder ZAGG then asked the Registry to fix the recoverable amount and filed a bill of costs with supporting evidence under Article 79(3) CDIR.
- ›The Registry applied the maximum recoverable representation amounts under Article 79(7) CDIR: EUR 400 for the invalidity proceedings and EUR 500 for the appeal.
- ›The decision fixed EUR 900 in total payable by TrekStor to ZAGG; it did not revisit the merits of the invalidity appeal.
