Loops, LLC v. Phoenix Trading, Inc., No. 13-1332 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 13, 2014)

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.

The issue before us on appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion in granting sanctions of default judgment, attorney’s fees, and costs to plaintiffs. The attorney’s fees and costs were imposed jointly on defen d- ants Phoenix Trading, Inc. , dba Amercare (“Amercare”), Wendy Hemming, and their counsel. W e find that while some of the conduct relied upon by the court was subject to sanction, other conduct was not.
