Question Presented (from Petition)
Following this Court's decision in CRST, does the standard for determining whether a defendant is a "prevailing party" require the "material alteration of the legal relationship of the parties" marked by "judicial imprimatur," or, as the Federal Circuit held, is any "rebuffing" of the plaintiff, with or without a material alteration of the legal relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant, sufficient?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the dismissal of a case for mootness can satisfy the 'prevailing party' standard
