This decision relates to cost proceedings following a patent infringement case involving Edwards Lifesciences Corporation as the claimant and Meril Life Sciences PVT Limited and others as defendants. The parties submitted requests for cost decisions and confidentiality protections for certain documents.

The court allowed the withdrawal of cost applications from both sides when the parties reached a settlement. However, the court agreed to maintain the confidentiality of designated sections and exhibits within the cost decision applications, limiting access to specified parties and their representatives. The decision prohibits disclosure of this information to third parties, ensuring confidentiality post-proceedings, with penalty provisions for any breach of this confidentiality. The patent in question was EP 3 769 722 B1.
