The plaintiffs were granted damages and an injunction for copyright infringement and passing off. The parties disagreed on costs. The plaintiffs asked for costs of $96,745, while the defendants argued for costs of $24,745. The court determined that the plaintiffs were successful and awarded them $70,863 in costs, representing 25% of their fees, with a small adjustment. The court considered factors such as the result of the proceeding, the amounts claimed and recovered, and the complexity of the issues. It concluded that a lump sum award based on 25% of fees incurred was appropriate.
