§ 71 Abs. 1 S. 1 MarkenG; appeal costs in trademark proceedings: an order allocating costs to one party requires special reasons. In the absence of such reasons, the general rule applies that no costs are imposed on the unsuccessful party; each party bears its own costs. The mere fact that a party is unsuccessful does not suffice for a cost order. The court will only depart from the rule where the conduct of a party or other circumstances make a cost order equitable (consid. implicit).
