At Wilmington this 15th day of January, 2008, the above captioned case having
been dismissed (D.l. 86), but the court having retained jurisdiction for purposes of
deciding defendants' motion for attorney fees; and having considered said motion and
the papers submitted in connection therewith;
IT IS ORDERED that said motion (D.I. 61) is denied, as the court concludes that
a finding of inequitable conduct by a divided panel ofthe Federal Circuiti does not
present the kind of extraordinary case that warrants fee shifting, especially under the
circumstances at bar where defendants were not required to invest substantial
resources in defending against this action. E Frank's Casing Crew & Rental Tools,
