April 21, 2026·26-1007·Panel Decision·By Maria Santos
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit dismissed one appeal in a patent dispute between Cozy, Inc. and Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. The dismissal followed a joint stipulation by the parties to voluntarily withdraw the appeal filed by King and Spalding, LLP and its clients.
This matter arose from an appeal filed by King and Spalding, LLP, Brent P. Ray, and Abby Parsons against Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. The parties subsequently filed a joint stipulation to voluntarily dismiss this specific appeal pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure forty-two, subsection B.
The court’s reasoning
The court acted upon the joint stipulation of voluntary dismissal and the parties’ agreement regarding the allocation of costs. The order explicitly states that the appeal is dismissed and that each side shall bear its own costs for that specific appeal.
What it means going forward
The appeal filed by King and Spalding, LLP and its clients is no longer pending before the Federal Circuit, while the remaining appeals in the case continue to be processed by the merits panel.
