Nidek case, award of costs under FRCP 54(d)(1)

The CAFC discussion of the D. Mass. ruling in Summit v Nidek on costs under FRCP 54(d)(1) is an interesting read.

Over $98K asserted by Nidek for the use of a trial exhibit preparer (FTI) was tossed as not being within the scope of 28 USC 1920.

Summit also challenged the figure of over $200,000 for photocopying costs.
