    Case 1:13-cv-10951-DJC Document 275 Filed 12/15/16 Page 1 of 22 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS DONALD THOMAS SCHOLZ, Plaintiff and Defendant-in-Counterclaim, v. Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-10951-DJC BARRY GOUDREAU, Defendant and Plaintiff-in-Counterclaim. MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT BARRY GOUDREAU’S MOTION FOR COSTS AND ATTORNEY’S FEES PURSUANT TO 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) Pursuant to the Court’s order (D. 269), defendant BARRY GOUDREAU (“Goudreau”) hereby submits his memorandum of law in support of the above-referenced motion as prevailing party on the Lanham Act claims of plaintiff DONALD THOMAS SCHOLZ (“Scholz”). I. INTRODUCTION This case was never about violation of the Lanham Act. To say otherwise constitutes a failure in honesty to the Court. Putting it bluntly, Scholz’s Lanham Act claims were a sham. The Court disposed of most of those bogus claims on summary judgment, finding a complete lack of evidence. As for the remaining “indirect” infringement claims, ginned up in an amended pleading, there was never any consumer confusion, or even the remotest likelihood of such, in referring to Goudreau’s past participation (whether as “former” or “original” member) in the band BOSTON. There was never any harm to Scholz or his trademarks in doing so. The parties’ goods and services weren’t in competition, and were never likely to be. Lanham Act cases are difficult and complex. That Act has a fee-shifting provision for “exceptional” cases. The Supreme Court has recently provided guidance to the lower courts on how and when that provision should apply.
