From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Mr. Haase appeals from the district court’s order that Appellees are entitled to recover (1) costs as the prevail- ing party in this case , and (2) monetary sanctions related to discovery violations by Mr. Haase and others. In previous appeals related to this case , we affirmed the district court’s imposition of monetary sanctions , affirmed the grant of judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) that Appellees did not misappropriate a trade secret, and reversed the denial of JMOL of patent invalidity .
