Under 17 U.S.C. § 505, the district court then ordered InDyne to pay Abacus' reasonable attorney's fees. InDyne, Inc. v. Abacus Tech. Corp., No. 6:11-cv-137-Orl-22DAB, 2014 WL 1400658 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 25, 2014). The district court identified three factors justifying its decision to award those fees.

The undersigned recommends that Mr. Rothman's rate of $395.00 is reasonable, but that the rate for Mr. Cohen, who has less than one year of experience, should be reduced from $300.00 to $225.00.See, e.g., Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Jokic, Case No. 8:15-cv-2653-T-27TBM, 2016 WL 3511765, at *7 (M.D. Fla. June 1, 2016), report and recommendation adopted, 2016 WL 3538375 (M.D. Fla. June 22, 2016) (awarding attorney's fees of $425.00 per hour for senior attorney and $225.00 per hour for junior attorney in copyright infringement case); InDyne, Inc. v. Abacus Tech. Corp., Case No. 6:11-cv-137-Orl-22DAB, 2014 WL 1400658, at *11 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 25, 2014) (awarding attorney's fees in copyright infringement case up to $400.00 per hour for senior counsel and $200.00 per hour for junior attorneys). Additionally, the undersigned recommends that the rate for Ms. James and Ms. Abajian should be reduced from $175.00 to $125.00.

Norman v. Hous. Auth. of City of Montgomery, 836 F.3d 1292, 1304 (11th Cir. 1988). I note that for work performed in 2011, this Court determined in an intellectual property case that hourly rates of $400.00 for shareholders with 20 years or more of experience, $300.00 for mid-level attorneys (one with 11 years of experience), and $200.00 for junior attorneys (ranging from 2 to 6 years of experience) were reasonable. Indyne, Inc. v. Abacus Tech. Corp., No. 6:11-cv-137-Orl-22DAB, 2014 WL 1400658, at * 11 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 25, 2014). I recognize that reasonable hourly rates have increased since the Indyne, Inc. decision was issued.

See e.g., Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Jokic, No. 8:15-cv-2653-T-27TBM, 2016 WL 3511765, *7 (M.D. Fla. June 1, 2016) (recommending award of $425 per hour for senior attorney and $225 per hour for junior attorney in copyright infringement case finding that rates were within the range of fees paid in this market for such work); InDyne, Inc. v. Abacus Technology Corp., No: 6:11-cv-137-Orl-22DAB, 2014 WL 1400658, at *11 (M.D. Fla. 2014) (awarding fees in copyright infringement case up to $400 per hour for senior counsel and $200 for junior attorneys); Baby Buddies, Inc., v. Toys R. Us., Inc., No. 2011 WL 4382450, *7 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 9, 2011) (in a copyright case finding that $350-$475 per hour for a partner and $170-$260 per hour for associates were "at or slightly above the customary fees sought and obtained in the Middle District of Florida," but "reasonable in light of the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys.") However, courts in our District, including in larger markets, do reduce hourly rates where the litigation itself is not complex.

Lil' Joe Wein Music, Inc. v. Jackson, 2008 WL 2688117, *4 (S.D.Fla. July 1, 2008) (citing Fogerty v. Fantasy, Inc., 510 U.S. 517, 534, 114 S.Ct. 1023, 127 L.Ed.2d 455 (1994)); InDyne, Inc. v. Abacus Tech. Corp., 2014 WL 1400658, at *5 (M.D.Fla. Feb. 25, 2014) (“for the purposes of § 505 prevailing plaintiffs and prevailing defendants are to be treated alike”) (citation omitted).
