United States Federal Circuit

Defendant USX Corp. is a prevailing party, and thus is not ineligible for attorney's fees, because the district court entered a final judgment in its favor in response to its request for judgment based on the action of the Patent and Trademark Office in canceling the patent in suit. Reversed and remanded.
