2. “Plaintiff” and “RainLine” shall mean and include The RainLine Corporation, a 

corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Alabama, having its principal 

place of business at 602 C Oliver Road, Montgomery, Alabama 36117, and its successors and 

assigns. 

3. “Central Striping” shall mean and include Central Striping Service, Inc., a 

corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, having its principal 

place of business at 3489 Luyung Drive, Rancho Cordova, California 95742, and its officers, 

directors, successors and assigns. 

4. On August 8, 1995 United States Letters Patent No. 5,439,312 (hereinafter “‘312 

Patent”) was duly and legally issued in the name of Forrest C. Marcato. On April 30, 1996, 

United States Letters Patent No. 5,511,896 (hereinafter “‘896 Patent”) was duly and legally 

issued in the name of Forrest C. Marcato. On July 1, 1997, United States Letters Patent No. 

5,642,962 (hereinafter “‘962 Patent”) was duly and legally issued in the name of Forrest C. 

Marcato. The ‘312, ‘896 and ‘962 patents are assigned to Plaintiff RainLine. 

5. It is conclusively determined between the parties that all claims of the ‘312 Patent, 

the ‘896 Patent and the ‘962 Patent are valid and enforceable. For four years following entry of 

this Consent Judgment, defendants Central Striping, James Lesniewski, and Susan Lesniewski 

also shall not challenge, nor assist in challenging, the validity or enforceability of the ‘312 Patent, 

the ‘896 Patent or the ‘962 Patent in any judicial or administrative proceeding, including any 

proceeding before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, except as required by law pursuant to a 

valid subpoena or court order. 

6. RainLine alleges that Central Striping has infringed the ‘312 Patent, the ‘896 

Patent, and the ‘962 Patent by making unlicensed and unauthorized use of the methods covered 

by those three patents in performing road striping in the United States. Central Striping has 

stipulated to judgment on these claims as set forth herein and defendant Central Striping, Inc. shall 

pay the amount of $20,000 (Twenty Thousand Dollars) to RainLine as compensation therefor.

7. Defendant Central Striping, its agents, servants, employees, successors, and 

assigns, and all people in active concert with them are enjoined from the unauthorized making, 

using, selling, offering to sell, or importing of the inventions covered by the ‘312 Patent, the ‘896 

Patent and the ‘962 Patent for four years, except to the extent that they become authorized or 

licensed to do so by RainLine, or its officers, directors, agents, successors, or assigns. After the 

expiration of the injunction, the parties shall be in no different position than if the injunction had 

not been entered in the first instance, and for any subsequent acts of infringement, Plaintiff shall 

have all remedies that would otherwise be available to it under Title 35 of the United States Code, 

or any other provision of law. 

8. The injunction set forth in paragraph 7 shall terminate automatically as to any of 

the claims of the ‘312 Patent, the ‘896 Patent and the ‘962 Patent that may be found invalid or 

unenforceable after a final judgment, after all avenues for appeal have been exhausted, in an action 

by a third party and without any assistance from Defendants (other than required by law pursuant 

to a valid subpoena or court order). 

9. Each of the parties hereto shall bear its own costs and attorney’s fees incurred in 

this action.
