United States Federal Circuit

In a dispute over attorney's fees in a patent infringement action, the district court's decision not to award attorney's fees is affirmed where: 1) nothing in the record compels a finding of exceptionality or otherwise suggests a need for the district court to provide its reasoning, and thus the lack of detailed analysis by the court does not warrant reversal; and 2) the court did not err in failing to entertain a motion for attorney's fees, and any error that did occur was harmless.
