Fees Shifted, Other Sanctions Avoided, Warning Issued

March 1, 2024

The Federal Circuit has turned away appeals from the final judgment of Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright based on a June 2021 jury verdict of noninfringement and a subsequent bench trial finding no inequitable conduct. The plaintiffs here are Freshub Ltd. and its US subsidiary Freshub, Inc.; found not to have infringed is Amazon, as well as several subsidiaries, including Whole Foods Market. In the district court’s denial of Freshub’s motion for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial, Judge Albright ordered three attorneys from Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP and one from Naman Howell Smith & Lee PLLC to “complete thirty (30) hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) of legal ethics and shall certify his/her completion of the CLE hours to the Court within six months from the date of this Order”.
