United States Seventh Circuit
Hyperqest, Inc. v. N'Site Solutions, Inc., 08-2257
In plaintiff's suit for infringement of certain copyrighted software used to process insurance claims, district court's dismissal of the suit in concluding that plaintiff held only a non-exclusive license and thus lacked statutory standing to sue and a grant of attorneys' fees and costs to defendants is affirmed as, defendants were entitled to judgment in their favor as plaintiff did not have the kind of interest in the software that it needed in order to be entitled to bring this suit for copyright infringement, and as such, as prevailing parties, defendants were entitled to attorneys' fees under section 505 of the Copyright Act.
