August 14, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 481 ORDER: Plaintiff's Application #450 for Attorney's Fees and Costs is GRANTED in part, and Plaintiff's Motion #378 for Supplemental Relief is DENIED. Plaintiff is entitled to recover its reasonable fees and costs under CUTPA and the Patent Act. However, Plaintiff is not entitled to recover its fees under the Lanham Act, and thus may not recover any fees incurred exclusively in pursuit of Romag's claim for an award of Defendants' profits in connection with its trademark infringement claims. Plaintiff also may not recover its non-taxable costs under CUTPA. Finally, as this Court ruled in its memorandum of decision after the bench trial, Plaintiff may not recover its costs and fees related to its pursuit of a TRO in this case. In light of the existing scheduling order with respect to the fee petition, Defendants' opposition to Plaintiff's Motion #466 to Compel shall be filed no later than seven days after the issuance of this opinion. Any reply shall be filed within seven days of the filing of the opposition. In light of the Court's rulings excluding certain categories of fees--i.e., (1) fees incurred in pursuing the TRO, (2) fees incurred solely in pursuit of Plaintiff's Lanham Act claim for an award of Defendants' profits, and (3) non-taxable costs under CUTPA--Defendants are directed to submit a supplemental opposition limited to identifying objections to specific fees falling within those categories within seven days of the Court's ruling on the Motion to Compel. Plaintiff shall file its substantive reply within fourteen days of Defendants' supplemental opposition, or within fourteen days of Defendants' compliance with the Motion to Compel, if granted, whichever date is later. Signed by Judge Janet Bond Arterton on 08/14/2014. (Bonneau, J)

Defendants' "Conditional" Motion #475 for Judgment as a Matter of Law and for a New Trial is DENIED without prejudice to renewal if the Court's ruling with respect to the willfulness requirement is overturned on appeal and the Court subsequently determines based on the equitable factors that Plaintiff is entitled to an award of Fossil's profits for trademark infringement.

July 17, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 148 ORDER. The parties shall proceed with the limited extension of factual discovery according to the schedule proposed by Plaintiff Romag Fasteners, Inc. ("Romag") in its #143 July 6, 2012 submission to the Court. The restoration and search of the Dallas and Hong Kong servers shall commence immediately, with Transperfect Legal Solutions ("Transperfect") using the search terms detailed in Exhibit A of Romag's #143 Proposed Orders with Respect to ESI Discovery. The Court finds that Defendants' concerns about privilege and overbreadth are unfounded: To the extent that Romag's search terms increase the volume of responsive e-mails from the search, Romag will be more likely to bear the cost of review during the second phase of extended discovery. After completing the restoration and search, Transperfect will notify the parties of the number of e-mails identified by each search term, and within seven days Romag will submit its Phase I Report identifying which e-mails it would like produced. The submission of the Phase I Report will conclude the first phase of extended discovery. Romag will pay all the costs associated with this first phase. The Court directs that all costs be submitted to the Court for review. Together with its submission of the Phase I Report, Romag shall propose how the costs of e-mail review will be borne. Defendants may submit a counterproposal within seven days, and the Court will decide at that point how to allocate costs for the second phase of extended discovery. The Court reiterates, however, that no derivative discovery will be permitted, even if new information comes to light. Signed by Judge Mark R. Kravitz on 7/17/2012. (Lake, G.)
