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.

Cincinnati Sub -Zero Products, Inc. (“CSZ”), the pre- vailing party in this patent infringement case, appeals the district court’s denial of attorney’s fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285. In holding that this was not an “exceptional case,” the district court found that plaintiff Gaymar Industries, Inc.’s (“Gaymar”) litigation position was not objectively baseless.
