Earlier this month, a U.S. district court judge granted Rudy Telscher’s motion for attorney fees in Icon Health & Fitness v. Octane Fitness. It’s a notable event in the patent law world, because Telscher argued that very case before the U.S. Supreme Court. It resulted in a unanimous decision giving trial judges a freer hand in awarding attorney fees against parties who file baseless claims.
“We haven’t gotten paid yet, but we got the order,” said Telscher, a principal in the St. Louis office of Harness, Dickey & Pierce, who represents Octane Fitness. “We’re asking for about $3 million over a seven-year period. We’re getting money, it’s just a matter of how much.”
