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.

FUTURE LINK SYSTEMS, LLC v. REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 2 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. (“Realtek”) appeals the district court’s denial of (1) its motions for fees, costs, and sanctions; and (2) its discovery requests related to confi- dentiality. We hold that the district court erred in its de- nial of fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285 and costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(1) because, contrary to the district court’s decision, Realtek is a prevailing party.
