CAFC Upholds Fees Award In Misconduct Ruling

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a decision to grant millions of dollars in attorneys' fees to Osram Sylvania Inc.

"Brian D. Sieve, lead counsel for Osram, applauded the court's decision, noting that his client was particularly pleased to see the protracted litigation brought to a close.

'Obviously, we are pleased with the outcome and happy that the Federal Circuit decided that Nilssen's misconduct was indeed sufficient to entitle the client to a fee award,' said Sieve."
