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.

PersonalWeb a ppeals a district court award of $5,187,203.99 in attorneys’ fees entered against it. Person- alWeb argues that we should reverse the award because the district court erred in finding that the underlying case was “exceptional” within the meaning of the term under 35 U.S.C. § 285. PersonalWeb also contends that, even if the case was exceptional and fees are appropriate, the dis- trict court erred in its calculation of the overall fee award.
