11/21/19	Sanderson MacLeod Inc v. Hobbs Medical Inc 3:19-CV-30013 ( D. MA )	Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re: 33 Defendants Motion for Attorney Fees. Defendant seeks attorney fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285, which provides that [t]he court in exceptional cases may award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party. For purposes of § 285, an exceptional case is simply one that stands out from others with respect to the substantive strength of a partys litigating position (considering both the governing law and the facts of the case) or the unreasonable manner in which the case was litigated. Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc., 572 U.S. 545, 554 (2014). As the court has previously found in its order dismissing the case 26 and stated in its order denying Plaintiffs Rule 59(e) Motion to Alter, Amend or Vacate Judgment 41 : Not only did Plaintiff prepare a facially insufficient complaint due to reliance on outdated law, but it failed to take steps to amend its complaint between the time Defendant filed its motion to dismiss and the date of the hearing on that motion. Defendant had also provided Plaintiff with a copy of its motion to dismiss before it was filed, which identified this legal issue and gave Plaintiff an opportunity to withdraw its First Amended Complaint or seek leave to further amend the complaint prior to Defendant filing the motion to dismiss. Having considered the full context of this case, the court finds Plaintiffs approach marks this as an exceptional case in which an award of attorney fees is warranted. The case is referred to Magistrate Judge Robertson for a determination of the reasonable amount of fees to award. (Lindsay, Maurice) (Entered: 11/21/2019) Judge Mark G.
