Adjustacam, LLC v. Newegg, Inc., No. 16-1882 (Fed. Cir. July 5, 2017)

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.

AdjustaCam sued Newegg and dozens of other d e- fendants for patent infringement. Although AdjustaCam voluntarily dismissed most defendants early in the litig a- tion, it continued to litigate against Newegg , including through a Markman order and extended expert discovery. Just before summary judgment briefing, AdjustaCam voluntarily dismissed its infringement claims against Newegg with prejudice. Newegg then filed a motion for attorneys’ fees. The district court denied Newegg’s m o- tion, and Newegg appealed to this court.
