March 2016.  The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has remanded the firm’s Steiner v. Lewmar Inc. Unfair Trade Practices Case to the U.S. District Court for a determination of more than $600,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in prosecuting the intellectual property action over more than six years. The firm prevailed on all seven causes of action in the District Court.  Writing for a unanimous Court, Judge Dennis Chin wrote that it would be an abuse of discretion for the district court to refrain from awarding fees if based on defendants’ capitulation to judgment before trial.  Co-counsel for Mr. Steiner and Scott Lucas said that they were very pleased with the Court of Appeals’ decision, and look forward to having the district court decide the issue of reasonable fees after six years of litigation including an appeal.
