Quincy Bioscience, LLC v. Ellishbooks

Ct. of Appeals imposed $44,329.50 in attorney’s fees against defendant-appellant and its counsel as sanction for filing frivolous appeal in Lanham Act case. While plaintiff-appellee sought over $50,000 in attorney’s fees, Ct. of Appeals reduced instant request for time spent by plaintiff’s counsel after date of Ct. of Appeals’ opinion, including time spent by plaintiff’s counsel preparing sanctions motion. Also, scope of sanctions included defendant's counsel, where motion for sanctions sought sanctions against defendant's counsel, and where opinion cited to actions taken by defendant’s counsel in support for granting sanctions request.
