Quite to the contrary, ERG’s counsel candidly conceded that ERG had no evidence whatsoever to substantiate its claims of copyright infringement of the Inflatimation Elf and Soldier costumes. ERG attempts to justify its retention of these claims on the ground that it would have been legal malpractice for its counsel to remove such perfectly valid claims from the complaint. Given the fact that ERG had no evidence at all to support these claims — even after three years and numerous depositions — it would hardly have been legal malpractice to drop such claim (2d Cir.1984) (<HOLDING>).

D: holding proper basis for award of fees
