Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Pregerson grants in part Nike's motion for attorney fees in a trademark dispute. A company alleged that Nike and Nordstrom infringed upon its stylized “N” design in their “Nordstrom x Nike” collaboration. The court found that the company owner "misled by omission" his relationship with another party, who turned out to be his mother, and that the relationship was significant regarding proof of the sale of branded products during the relevant period. The company was ordered to pay attorney fees for the discovery misconduct. Days before the scheduled ESI investigation, the company owner alleged that all devices that were scheduled to be searched had been stolen from his car. Nike seeks "full" attorney fees, arguing that the case is "exceptional" due to the discovery misconduct. Nike is awarded $1,491,634 in attorney fees and costs.
