New Supreme Court Opinions - April 29, 2014

Octane Fitness, LLC v. Icon Health & Fitness, Inc., 572 U. S. ____ (2014) (holding that the  Federal Circuit's Brooks Furniture framework that defined an “exceptional case” as one which either involves “material inappropriate conduct” or is both “objectively baseless” and “brought in subjective bad faith” is unduly rigid and impermissibly encumbers the statutory grant of discretion to district courts).

Highmark Inc. v. Allcare Health Mgmt. Sys., Inc., 572 U. S. ____ (2014) (holding that all aspects of a district court’s exceptional-case determination under §285 should be reviewed for abuse of discretion).
