Further, courts have regularly interpreted fee-shifting provisions, similar or identical to the one contained in section 8.7 of the Subscription Agreement, under an “all or nothing approach” rather than a “claim-by-claim approach.” Dittrick v. Chalfant, CIV.A. 2156-S, 2007 WL 1378346, at *2 (Del. Ch. 2007) (quoting Comrie v. Enterasys Networks, Inc., CIV.A. 19254, 2004 WL 936505, at *2 (Del. Ch. Apr. 2004; Brandin v. Gottlieb, 2000 WL 1005954, at *28 (Del. Ch. 2000)). The all or nothing approach as opposed to a claim-by-claim approach mandates to shift the fees entirely to the prevailing party. See Vianix Del. LLC v. Nuance Commc’ns, Inc., 2010 WL 3221898, at *28 (Del. Ch. 2010) (quoting Brandin v. Gottlieb, 2000 WL 1005954, at *28 (Del. Ch. 2000). Thus, under any such fee-shifting provision, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all of its costs and fees, regardless of whether the party prevails on every claim disputed in the litigation. Brandin v. Gottlieb, 2000 WL 1005954, at *28 (Del. Ch. 2000).
