Description

Appealed from: U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Judge Barbara B. Crabb Fiskars OY AB and Fiskars, Inc. (collectively ""Fiskars"") are the owner and exclusive licensee, respectively, of U.S. Patent No. 5,322,001, which is directed to a paper trimmer with a rotary blade. Fiskars filed suit against Hunt Manufacturing Co. (""Hunt"") in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, alleging that Hunt's Heavy Duty 12"" Paper Trimmer infringed the Fiskars patent. A jury found Hunt liable for infringement under the doctrine of equivalents and awarded Fiskars more than $3 million in lost profits damages. Twenty-one months after the district court entered judgment, Hunt filed a motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5) or (6), seeking vacatur of the damages award. Hunt appeals the district court's denial of that motion. Because the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hunt's motion, we affirm. BACKGROUND
