Intellectual Property: Reversal Of Claim In A Cross-Appeal Meant That Copyright Attorney’s Fees Denial Had To Be Revisited

Same Result As Is Usually The Case In State Court Cases.

               Much like what generally happens in state court cases, Aquarian Foundation, Inc. v. Lowndes, Case No. 22-35704 et al. (9^th Cir. Feb. 3, 2025) (published) illustrates that federal circuit courts will remand an attorney’s fees denial order for a revisit after reversing a claim in an appeal (in this case, a cross-appeal).

BLOG OBSERVATION:  We liked the beginning sentence of this opinion: “Copyright, estate law, and religious writing make for strange bedfellows, but this appeal has them all.”
