Heading: The “Elegant” Model

Text: One issue remains. Aqua Shield argues that the district court erroneously omitted one of IPC’s pool-enclosure models—the “Elegant”—from the calculation of IPC’s infringing sales and, thus, from the royalty award and injunction. We reject this challenge. Aqua Shield argues that, in the summary-judgment proceedings, it asserted that the Utah Installation infringed and that it was an Elegant model that was installed. But the district court, while finding that the Utah Installation infringed, made no finding that the Utah installation was an Elegant model. Aqua Shield, 830 F. Supp. 2d at 1291; Initial Damages Op. at 6; Aqua Shield, 2013 WL 6410975, at . And the subsequent trial involved no infringement issues, but was limited to issues concerning relief. Aqua Shield thus never obtained a finding of infringement by the Elegant model, and there was no error in the district court’s refusal to include that model in its royalty calculation or injunction. 16 AQUA SHIELD v.
