  8. Cinclips, LLC v. Z Keepers, LLC

    MOTION for Attorney Fees and costs

    Filed October 22, 2018

    It is because of the absence of a support beam extending to the distal end, and the absence of a plurality of screw holes formed along the length of the second end as described in the ‘609 patent claims 8 and 16, that Smith testified that the Umounts device was missing the second end described in claims 8 and 16. See Trl. Trans. at p. 399, lines 20-25. These additional instances of bad faith and misconduct by Plaintiff at trial should be considered among the totality of the circumstances in awarding Z Keepers its fees under section 285 of the Patent Act. IV. FEES AND COSTS INCURRED BY Z KEEPERS. A. Evaluating the reasonableness of costs and fees. The taxing of costs is to be made in accord with statute 28 U.S.C. § 1920. “In dealing with items of cost incurred and a determination of which items should be allowed, the issue is one of Case 8:16-cv-01067-JSS Document 168 Filed 10/22/18 Page 23 of 26 PageID 3222 24 discretion [and] the burden is upon the losing party to show the impropriety of an allowance."
