Clark Baker v. Jeffrey Deshong

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• applying the Octane Fitness standard to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), the Lanham Act’s fee-shifting provision
• borrowing attorneys’ fees jurisprudence under the Patent Act to interpret the fee-shift- ing provision in the Lanham Act
• characterizing the fee-shifting provisions in the Lanham Act and Pa- tent Act as “statutory equivalents” and determining that “Congress in- tended” the provisions “to have the same meaning” given their “parallel purpose, structure, and language”
• “While Octane Fitness directly concerns the scope of a district court’s discretion to award fees for an ‘exceptional’ case under § 285 of the Patent Act, the case guides our interpretation of § 1117(a) of the Lanham Act and is instructive here.”
