Westech Aerosol Corporation v. 3M Company, No. 18-1699 (Fed. Cir. July 5, 2019)

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.

Westech Aerosol Corporation appeals the decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington granting 3M Company and GTA -NHT, Inc.’s motion to dismiss for improper venue. 3M Company and GTA-NHT, Inc. subsequently moved for attorneys’ fees and double costs, arguing Westech Aerosol Corporation filed a frivolous appeal. Because the district court did not err in granting the motion to dismiss, we affirm. We also deny the motion for attorneys’ fees and costs.
