The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently overturned sanctions imposed by a Southern District of New York judge against New Jersey intellectual property law firm Kaplan Gilman & Pergament and software company ResQNet.com Inc.
The Feb. 5 panel decision in ResQNet.com Inc. v. Lansa Inc. ruled that the district court’s January 2005 pretrial order to impose sanctions on ResQNet.com and the Woodbridge, N.J.-based Kaplan Gilman once the trial was completed was an abuse of the court’s discretion.
