This is an assessment of costs following a judgment dismissing the plaintiff's action and motion for summary trial.
The defendants claimed costs at the highest end of Column III of Tariff B, arguing the complexity of the patent proceeding justified elevated costs.
The plaintiff did not file responding materials.
The Assessment Officer allowed most of the requested units but reduced the units for case management conferences and disallowed claims for second counsel fees and travel expenses, noting the lack of a specific court direction for those items.
The final assessed amount was $119,628.28.
