Question Presented (from Petition)
If this Court determines in Case No. 20-773 that the Federal Circuit erred in affirming the award of attorney fees as sanctions under Rule 11, should this Court also vacate the Federal Circuit's affirmance of the denial of the motion for attorney fees under Section 285 given the district court's reasons for denying that motion?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the denial of additional attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285 should be vacated if the Rule 11 sanctions are disturbed on appeal
