Case: Patents/Attorneys' Fees (E.D. Tex.)

A federal district court in Texas denied U.S. Silica Company’s motion for attorneys’ fees in this patent infringement action against Amberger Kaolinwerke Eduard Kick GmbH & Co. The court rejected U.S. Silicia’s arguments that Amberger’s litigation conduct, weak litigation positions, motivation to harm U.S. Silica, and the jury’s decisive verdict, including its finding of willful infringement, make this an exceptional case warranting the recovery of attorneys’ fees.
