Plaintiff's fees and costs application is reduced from $981,000 to $500,000
Trueposition Inc. v. Andrew Corporation, Civ. No. 05-747-SLR, June 10 , 2009.
Robinson, J. Plaintiff’s application for costs to compensate for the consequences of post-verdict shipments of infringing product is reduced from $981,000 to $500,000.
Having previously adjudicated defendant’s conduct as willful in its Memorandum Opinion dated April 30, 2009 [see], the Court seeks to compensate plaintiff for consequences of defendant’s inappropriate post-verdict shipments of infringing product. Plaintiff has submitted its bill of costs averring that it expended over $890,000 in attorney fees and over $91,000 in expert fees. The Court finds the expenditure excessive vis-a-vis the time period and awards the plaintiff fees and costs in the amount of $500,000 without interest.
