Following the trial in this case, in which Abhai was found to infringe a pair of Shire 2019s reissue patents and to have committed litigation misconduct warranting the award of attorneys 2019 fees (as well as a $30,000 sanction payable to the Court for wasting the Court 2019s time), Judge Young awarded fees of $1,501,455.32. He cut some time that would have been incurred regardless of the misconduct and for time spent on motions to compel that were not granted, reducing the award by $833k from what Shire had sought. The case will soon be in condition for appeal.
