MEMORANDUM & ORDER
YOUNG, D.J.
I. INTRODUCTION
This memorandum and order arises out of post-trial motions for attorney's fees and other costs following a lengthy trial regarding Abhai, LLC's ("Abhai") unauthorized use of Shire LLC and Shire US Inc.'s (collectively "Shire") United States Reissued Patent No. RE42,096 and United States Reissued Patent No. RE41,148. See Shire LLC v. Abhai, LLC, 298 F.Supp.3d 303, 304-06 (D. Mass. 2018). With two days of trial remaining, Abhai revealed that its stability dissolution testing data was incorrect. Id. at 305, 329. It proceeded to provide Shire with the correct data, but by then the damage had been done. Id. at 329, 331. Shire had relied on the incorrect data, as it was crucial to its case and the overall trial. Id. at 331.
Abhai's decision to withhold the correct data caused a delay in trial, extra expenses for Shire, and a drain on judicial resources. Id. at 335-36. The Court thus sanctioned Abhai in the amount of $30,000.00. Id. at 337. The Court also ordered Shire to file a revised claim for attorney's fees and costs limited to "(a) recovering for the time wasted dealing with Abhai's inaccurate stability and dissolution data, (b) discovering the litigation misconduct discussed immediately above, and (c) dealing with Abhai's revised stability and dissolution data." Id. at 335.
Following the Court's orders, Shire filed a motion seeking to recover attorney's fees and expenses that it incurred due to Abahi's misconduct. Pls.' Appl. Reasonable Atty's Fees & Expenses ("Pls.' Mem."), ECF No. 342. Both parties have briefed the issue of how much in attorney's fees and expenses the Court ought award Shire. See Pls.' Mem.; Def.'s Response Pls.' Appl. Atty's Fees & Expenses ("Def.'s Resp."), ECF No. 347; Decl. William C. Rose with Exhibits A-M ("Rose Decl. I"), ECF No. 348; Decl. William C. Rose with Exhibits AA-MM ("Rose Decl. II"), ECF. No. 349; Pls.' Reply Supp. Appl. Reasonable Attys' Fees & Expenses ("Pls.' Reply"), ECF No. 355; Decl. Kevin B. Collins ("Collins Decl."), ECF No. 356; Def.'s Sur-reply to Pls.' Appl. Atty's Fees & Expenses ("Def.'s Sur-reply"), ECF No. 359.
II. ANALYSIS
Following the denial of a motion to seal Shire's motion for reasonable attorney's fees, the Court explained that it is not evaluating the reasonableness of the fees requested by Shire, unless such fees are unreasonably high. Electronic Order, ECF No. 341. Rather, the Court is only concerned with the attorney's fees and costs that Shire paid "for necessary work its counsel performed due to the misconduct of Abhai." Id.
As instructed by the Court, Shire divided its billing entries into the three categories. See Shire LLC, 298 F.Supp.3d at 335 ; Pls.' Mem. at 6-9. The following is a description of the work performed by Shire due to Abhai's misconduct:
For category (a) ["time wasted dealing with Abhai's inaccurate stability and dissolution data"], the time entries included in the calculation from September 2016 to April 2017 include:
• time spent analyzing Abhai's ANDA containing dissolution and stability data;
• time spent reviewing Abhai's lab notebooks containing dissolution and stability data;
• time spent working with [Juniper Pharma Services ("Juniper") ] on dissolution testing;
• time spent working on [Dr. Shen Yung Luk's ("Dr. Luk") ] opening expert report related to dissolution testing (including the four pages in his 37-page opening report plus the short description in Appendix E of his dissolution testing methodology);
• time spent working with [Dr. Jennifer Dressman ("Dr. Dressman") ] on her reply report addressing dissolution data;
• time spent preparing Dr. Dressman for deposition;
• time spent reviewing [Dr. Diane Burgess's ("Dr. Burgess") ] expert report on inaccurate dissolution data;
• time spent deposing Dr. Burgess on inaccurate dissolution data;
• time spent preparing Dr. Luk for deposition;
• time spent deposing Abhai/[KVK Tech, Inc. ("KVK") ] employees on inaccurate dissolution data;
• time spent preparing Dr. Dressman and Dr. Luk for trial on inaccurate dissolution data; and
• time spent preparing to cross examine Dr. Burgess on inaccurate dissolution data.
...
For category (b)["discovering the litigation misconduct"], the time entries included in the calculation from April 2017 to August 2017 include:
• time spent during first trial reviewing newly disclosed dissolution and stability data;
• time spent opposing Abhai's attempt to amend the pretrial order and introduce evidence at the first trial not produced during fact discovery;
• time spent at the court hearing convened to determine the best path forward;
• time spent drafting discovery requests;
• time spent reviewing Abhai's responses to interrogatories and request for production;
• time spent reviewing Abhai documents produced after the first trial in April 2017;
• time spent pressing Abhai for more information and additional documents;
• time spent moving to compel production of documents and additional information, including related legal research;
• time spent researching the relationship between KVK and Abhai;
• time spent collecting dissolution testing for third parties to show issues with Abhai's testing; and
• time spent preparing for and taking the depositions of Anthony Tabasso, Jordan Rees, Ashvin Pancheal, Frank Nekovanik, Murty Vepuri, Ranga Namburi, Todd Leo, Benjamin Roembke, Sameer Late, and Kevin O'Loughlin.
...
For category (c)["dealing with Abhai's revised stability and dissolution data"], the time entries included in the calculation from April 2017 to September 2017 include:
• time spent developing a response to the revised stability and dissolution data;
• time spent analyzing Abhai's document productions in light of revised stability and dissolution data;
• time spent with Dr. Luk and Juniper regarding new dissolution studies being conducted;
• time spent with Dr. Dressman on a supplemental expert report addressing Abhai's revised stability and dissolution data;
• time spent working with consulting experts to understand issues raised by the revised dissolution data;
• time spent collecting information about other dissolution studies for Adderall XR, including those in Shire's NDA;
• time spent moving to compel Abhai to produce more documents and provide additional information relevant to understanding the revised stability and dissolution data; and
• time spent preparing Dr. Dressman for the second trial.
Shire's total request for fees and costs as a result of the misconduct is $2,335,034.91. See Pls.' Mem., Ex. A at 86. Abhai disagrees and argues that Shire's award should be reduced to $998,465.91. Def.'s Resp. at 16. Abhai argues that Shire is not entitled to all the fees associated with the following categories of billing entries:
• "time spent analyzing Abhai's ANDA containing dissolution and stability data;"
• "time spent reviewing Abhai's lab notebooks containing dissolution and stability data;"
• "time spent working with Juniper on dissolution testing;"
• "time spent working on Dr. Luk's opening expert report related to dissolution testing;"
• "time spent preparing Dr. Luk for deposition;"
• "time spent preparing Dr. Luk for trial on inaccurate dissolution data;"
• "Shire's discovery motion practice;"
• "Shire's depositions of current and former KVK employees;"
• "time spent researching the relationship between KVK and Abhai and the ownership of KVK;"
• "time spent with Dr. Luk and Juniper regarding new dissolution studies being conducted" and "work performed by Dr. Luk and Juniper;"
• "time spent collecting dissolution testing [from] third parties;"
• "time spent collecting information about other dissolution studies for Adderall XR;" and
• "fees and costs associated with Dr. Dressman."
Id. at 4-14 (quoting Pl's Mem. at 7-9).
Abhai is correct that Shire is not entitled to all the fees associated with the above-referenced entries because they are not all but-for results of Abhai's misconduct. See Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Haeger, ––– U.S. ––––, 137 S.Ct. 1178, 1187, 197 L.Ed.2d 585 (2017).
A. Standard
Federal courts have "the ability to fashion an appropriate sanction for conduct which abuses the judicial process." Id. at 1186 (quoting Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44-45, 111 S.Ct. 2123, 115 L.Ed.2d 27 (1991) ). An assessment of attorney's fees is a proper sanction. Id. The assessment, however, must be compensatory and not punitive. Id. The goal is to "redress the wrong party 'for losses sustained' " as a result of the improper conduct. Id. (quoting Mine Workers v. Bagwell, 512 U.S. 821, 829, 114 S.Ct. 2552, 129 L.Ed.2d 642 (1994) ). "The complaining party [ ] may recover 'only the portion of his fees that he would not have paid but for' the misconduct." Id. at 1187. "This but-for causation standard generally demands that a district court assess and allocate specific litigation expenses -- yet still allows it to exercise discretion and judgment." Id." 'The essential goal' in shifting fees is 'to do rough justice, not to achieve auditing perfection.' " Id. (quoting Fox v. Vice, 563 U.S. 826, 838, 131 S.Ct. 2205, 180 L.Ed.2d 45 (2011) ).
1. Category A: Time Wasted Dealing with Inaccurate Data
Abhai claims that Shire is not entitled to recover fees for time spent analyzing and reviewing Abhai's Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") dissolution and stability data and reviewing Abhai's lab notebooks containing the data acquired between September 2016 and April 2017, before the discovery of Abhai's misconduct. Def.'s Resp. at 4-5. Abhai also argues that Shire is not entitled to any fees and costs associated with Dr. Luk and Juniper, as well as fees and costs associated with Dr. Dressman, incurred during the relevant time frame. Id. at 5-6.
Abhai is correct that Shire is not entitled to all the fees associated with time spent analyzing Abhai's ANDA stability and dissolution data. Shire is only entitled to the costs it incurred reviewing the incorrect dissolution data. Abhai provided Shire with thirty-eight dissolution tests performed on different strengths of Abhai's ANDA Product, five of which were incorrect. Shire LLC, 298 F.Supp.3d at 309-10. Shire would have still reviewed the other thirty-three tests, regardless of the five incorrect tests. See generally Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 137 S.Ct. at 1186. Therefore, Shire's award will be reduced by 86.8% to account for the correct data, or $9,004.63. See infra Appendix A.
Appended to this memorandum and order are charts with the relevant billing entries the Court used to calculate the reduction of attorney's fees and costs.
Shire cannot recover for Dr. Luk's or Juniper's work because Dr. Luk performed his own independent dissolution analysis on samples of Abhai's ANDA Product. Rose Decl. I, Ex. D at 5; Shire LLC, 298 F.Supp.3d at 308-09. Neither Dr. Luk's testimony nor his expert report contained any reference to the incorrect data. See Rose Decl. I, Ex. D. Therefore, the Court will reduce Shire's award by $23,452.67. See infra Appendix A.
In its reduction, the Court has taken into account billing entries containing multiple tasks that are proper but-for tasks, and has divided the amount of time by the number of tasks. It only reduces the fees by the dollar amount that it cost to perform the tasks that are not proper but-for tasks.
The Court will not award Shire fees for work performed by Dr. Dressman on the correct stability data prior to the discovery of the misconduct, because these are not proper but-for tasks. As one of Shire's key experts, Dr. Dressman would have analyzed these numbers at least once to form her opinion as to whether Abhai's ANDA Product infringed on Shire's patents. Shire's award for Dr. Dressman's work will be reduced by 86.8%, or $203,616.74. See infra Appendix A.
2. Discovering the Litigation Misconduct
Abhai argues that Shire should not be reimbursed for motions to compel discovery, for depositions performed on current and former KVK employees, and for time spent researching the relationship between KVK and Abhai and the ownership of KVK, between the period of April 2017 and August 2017. Def.'s Resp. at 8-12.
During the above time period, Shire filed three motions to compel discovery. See ECF Nos. 186, 196, 218. Only one motion was allowed in part. See ECF No. 195. Shire is not entitled to recover for unsuccessful motions. See United States v. One Star Class Sloop Sailboat built in 1930 with hull no. 721, named "Flash II", 546 F.3d 26, 39 (1st Cir. 2008) ("[A]n inquiring court may simply exclude time spent in litigating [ ] unsuccessful claims.... [T]ime invested in issues that are litigated profligately, unnecessarily, or without benefit to the prevailing party may be disallowed."); Specialty Retailers, Inc. v. Main Street NA Parkade, LLC, 804 F.Supp.2d 68, 74 (D. Mass. 2011) (Neiman, J.) (reducing fees for time spent on "unsuccessful motions to dismiss"). The total amount of money expended on the three motions totaled $302,593.00. See infra Appendix B. It is unclear how much of those expenses relate to the motion that was granted in part. Therefore, the total will be divided equally among the three motions. Each motion would then have a cost of $100,864.33. Shire is entitled to half of $100,864.33 ($50,432.17) to account for the motion that was granted in part. Therefore, Shire's award will be reduced by $252,160.83. See infra Appendix B.
On June 9, 2017, Shire filed an amended motion to its Motion to Compel Production of Documents Withheld or Redacted as Attorney-Client Privileged, Attorney Work Product, or Non-Responsive, ECF No. 196. See Am. Mot. Compel Produc. Docs. Withheld or Redacted as Att'y-Client Privileged, Atty Work Product, or Non-Responsive, ECF No. 206.
Shire is entitled to the costs associated with the deposition of current and former KVK employees, as well as time spent researching the relationship between KVK and Abhai and the ownership of KVK, because these tasks were taken in order to determine who had knowledge of the incorrect dissolution data. Pls.' Mem. at 4. But for the misconduct, Shire would not have engaged in the aforementioned tasks.
3. Dealing with Abhai's Revised Stability Dissolution Data
Abhai argues that Shire is not entitled to recover for the time spent with and worked performed by Dr. Luk and Juniper regarding the new dissolution data, analysis of third party or Adderall XR dissolution data, and fees associated with Dr. Dressman, during the period of April 2017 and September 2017. Def.'s Resp. at 12-15.
Even after Shire received the new and accurate dissolution data from Abhai, neither Dr. Luk nor Juniper conducted any tests or analysis that involved this particular data. See Reply Supp. Expert Report of Dr. Luk ("Dr. Luk Reply Report"), ECF No. 227-1. Rather, Dr. Luk performed new tests on different samples of Abhai's ANDA product, similar to the tests conducted before the misconduct was revealed. See id. Moreover, Dr. Luk's reply supplemental expert report following the misconduct does not reference the correct data. See id. The incorrect data did not affect any of Dr. Luk's prior testing. Any additional testing done by Dr. Luk using Juniper was unnecessary. Therefore, the Court reduces Shire's award by $151,096.59 and $167,891.63, for work conducted by Dr. Luk and Juniper respectively. See infra Appendix C.
The award is not reduced by proper but-for tasks found in billing entries that also incorporate tasks performed with regard to Dr. Luk.
Fees associated with Juniper total $167,891.63. See Pls. Mem., Ex. A at 87.
Abhai argues that its late disclosure is not the but-for cause of Shire's third party testing of Adderall XR. Def.'s Resp. at 13. It is unclear to the Court how Abhai's misconduct would require Shire to perform third party testing on Adderall XR. Therefore, Shire's award is reduced by $26,356.50. See infra Appendix C.
Shire is entitled to all fees and costs associated with Dr. Dressman following the revelation of the misconduct. As a result of the misconduct, Dr. Dressman's expert report had to be amended in light of the corrected data. Pls.' Mem. at 4; Rose Decl. I, Ex. J at 1-2. Dr. Dressman was "fully prepped and ready to testify in April and had to be re-prepared to testify for the second time when trial resumed in September." Pls.' Reply at 4. Shire's award will thus not be reduced to account for Dr. Dressman's fees and costs.
B. Calculation of Fees
The table below illustrates the fees requested by Shire, the Court's reduction, and the fees ultimately awarded to Shire.
Amount Shire's Request $2,335,034.91 Abhai's Request for Reduction $1,336,569.00 Court's Reduction $833,579.59 Total Award to Shire: $1,501,455.32
III. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, this Court awards Shire attorneys' fees and costs totaling $1,501,455.32.
SO ORDERED.
