Cellspin Soft, Inc. v. Fitbit LLC, et al. (Fed. Cir. No. 23-1526), decided 01 Nov 2024

This case is about Cellspin Soft, Inc.'s appeal of a district court's denial of its motion to recuse Judge Gonzalez Rogers and vacate summary judgment rulings in patent infringement cases against Fitbit and Nikon. The appeals court dismissed the appeal concerning Nikon due to procedural issues. Regarding Fitbit, the court affirmed the denial of the recusal motion, finding Cellspin's arguments untimely and any potential error harmless because the summary judgment against Cellspin on the merits was independently affirmed in similar cases. The court determined that even if the judge's impartiality was questionable, the outcome of Cellspin's case would not change. Therefore, the court dismissed the appeal concerning Nikon and affirmed the district court's decision concerning Fitbit.
