Fogerty v. Fantasy Inc. 510 U.S. 517 (1994) was a U.S. Supreme Court case that elaborated the standards that should factor into a district court’s decision to award attorney’s fees in copyright litigation. In general American courts have discretion to award attorney’s fees to prevailing parties in order to provide a financial incentive to individuals who otherwise could not afford to enforce their rights in court and to deter the bringing of frivolous lawsuits.
