Abstract
This note examines the legal landscape for fee-shifting in exceptional cases following the Supreme Court's ruling in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. This note considers emerging trends post-Octane Fitness based on an empirical analysis of attorneys' fees granted under ยง 285 post-Octane Fitness and discusses district determinations of "exceptional."
