Idea Nuova, Inc. v. GM Licensing Group, Inc.

Filing 31

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: For the reasons outlined above, GM's petition for confirmation of the Award is granted. Idea Nuova's motion for summary judgment or, in the alternative, for vacatur or modification of the Award, is denied. Because the Court concludes that Idea Nuova has failed to identify any ground for vacatur or modification under the FAA, Idea Nuova's claims for such relief in the Second Amended Complaint are also dismissed. As the prevailing party in this dispute, GM is entitled to an award of the reasonable costs, attorney's fees and other expenses that it has incurred in connection with this action. (Agreement at 3.) The parties are directed to meet and confer regarding the amount of that award. Failing agreement with Idea Nuova, GM is directed to submit a specific award request, with supporting documentation, to the Court for review within 20 days of the date of this Order.
