English to French Law/Patents Law (general) Jurisprudence

Dans un jugement américain, le juge discute de la question de l'adjudication des dépens dont les honoraires d'avocats.

In determining the amount of attorney fees to be awarded to the prevailing party, the proper method for calculating a reasonable award of attorney fees is the lodestar method.

The “lodestar method” of calculating attorney fees sets such fees by multiplying a reasonable hourly rate by the reasonable number of hours spent on the lawsuit to determine the lodestar fee and then adjusting it up or down based on other external factors.
