Subject: Seney, etal v. Soundview, et al
Lead Docket N0. 3:00-CV-00754 (JBA!)
Our Ref 790-931
Dear Judge Arterton:
Currently pending before Your Honor is a Motion for Reconsideration filed by Sharp in
connection with the Ruling on Soundview's Motion to Dismiss, dated March 4, 2005 (Doc.
#476). Attached is a recent decision by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Fort James
Corp. v. Solo Cup C0., App. No. 04-1365 (June 22, 2005, Fed. Cir.). I
I
Sharp respectfully submits that this Federal Circuit decision is relevant to Sharp‘s
pending motion for reconsideration. In that connection, the Court's attention is directed to pages
13-14 of the majority decision, as well as to footnotes 2 and 3 in the dissenting opinion. These
statements directly address the issue of whether Sharp‘s claim for attorney's fees under Section I
285 (based upon both bad faith litigation and inequitable conduct) is rendered moot by a decision I
finding no infringement.
I
Respectfully submitted, I
NIXON & VANDERHYE P.C. I
