Static Media LLC v. Leader Accessories LLC, No. 21-2303 (Fed. Cir. June 28, 2022)

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.

Leader Accessories LLC appeals a decision of the Dis- trict Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The dis- trict court held Leader and its attorney, Jen-Feng Lee, in contempt for allegedly violating a protective order by dis- closing confidential documents and awarded Static Media LLC sanctions and attorney’s fees . We hold that the dis- closure was not a clear violation of the protective order and accordingly reverse the district court’s contempt finding and its award of sanctions and attorney’s fees.
