YEALINK v. BARCO - Cost Decision (R. 150 RoP)
The UPC court issued a decision on the request by YEALINK for a cost award following preliminary injunction (PI) proceedings involving patent EP 3 732 827, owned by BARCO NV. YEALINK claimed to be the 'successful party,' arguing for reimbursement of over €237,000 in legal and additional costs across first instance and appeal proceedings. BARCO countered, acknowledging some cost liability but disputing the total claimed amount and YEALINK's full success. The court ruled that YEALINK was entitled to partial cost reimbursement and ordered BARCO to pay €112,000, while rejecting additional costs deemed unrecoverable.
