Pro se plaintiff held liable for attorney fees and expert costs

Huang v. Huawei Technologies is a nonprecedential case decided on June 8, 2018 on appeal from the Eastern District of Texas. After serving invalidity contentions, defendant Huawei served a Rule 11 safe-harbor letter on pro se plaintiff Huang, asserting that Huang’s “claims were baseless and that a pre-suit investigation would have revealed that some of the accused products were never sold in the United States.” The district court granted Huawei summary judgment of noninfringement, and later granted attorney fees and expert costs against Huang limited to the period after the safe-harbor letter. Huang appealed.

The Federal Circuit affirmed the judgment of noninfringement, attorney fees, and expert costs.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding fees. “Mr. Huang submitted no evidence of pre-suit investigation and no evidence of infringement. Huawei submitted evidence that Mr. Huang’s intent from the outset of the litigation was to force Huawei to incur legal fees in hopes that it would quickly settle. Mr. Huang did not attempt to refute this evidence except with baseless allegations of perjury against Huawei’s declarants and counsel.” Moreover, Huang filed “repetitive and nearly identical motions,” amounting to unreasonable litigation conduct.
