$134,243.25 in Fees/$3,819.95 in Costs Went Away.
Defendants prevailing on a successful motion to dismiss copyright infringement claims also requested $177,366.75 in fees (including $43,123.58 in “fees on fees”) and $3,819.95 in routine costs. The district judge awarded the defense $134,243.25 in fees and all of the requested fees based on a copyright fee-shifting statutory provision. However, the Ninth Circuit reversed the dismissal such that the fees/costs award went POOF! in Graham-Sult v. Clainos, Case No. 11-16779 (9th Cir. Dec. 27, 2013) (published).
