  • encouraging parties to raise objectively reasonable claims and defenses in order to further the purposes of the Copyright Act
  • addressing the Copyright Act’s attorney’s fees provision, 17 U.S.C. § 505
  • “[T]he magistrate judge was correct in noting that MiTek's good faith in bringing its suit was not determinative of the issue of attorney’s fees.”
