Compelling Attendance at Mediation & Production of Documents
Several disputes concerning the plaintiff in this photo copyright case.
Tyler
Win, Win, Win, Lose. Exceptional?
Cases where there are exceptional motions going both ways due to a reversal after trial after trial are … interesting.
Carmack Claim Denied
No summary judgment on Carmack Claim for you.
Reconsideration?
Motions for reconsideration don’t have a high success rate, and this one is no exception.
No Live Testimony
The Court told the parties it didn’t want live testimony at the Markman hearing in this case and on reconsideration confirmed that position.
Mediation rules
Mediation isn’t as common as it was a year ago, but when it happens, here are the rules.
R&R recommending remand granted
In fairness, it was a joint request for remand based on insufficient $$$ in dispute, and the R&R wasn’t objected to, but still, a win’s a win.
Court Costs Granted in Part
You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
Stays Pending Reexam & Discovery Conduct
The court stayed this Tyler patent case pending the outcome of IPR and ex parte reexams, but the fact pattern and the stay analysis is worth reviewing.
No Service Extension for You (But Let’s Talk)
Neither judge believed that the plaintiff showed good cause supporting a mandatory extension of the service deadline – but reserved judgment on whether a discretionary extension was warranted.
