`infringed by CWC's activities and further finding the Derrick Mark invalid, unenforceable or not
`infringed by CWC's activities. CWC subsequently amended to seek damages and fees under
`claims of false marking and false description. Derrick counterclaimed against CWC, seeking
`injunctive relief, damages, treble damages, attorney's fees and costs in connection with alleged
`patent and trademark infringement regarding the sale, offers to sell, and manufacturing of
`replacement screens covered by the '971 Patent and identified with the Derrick Mark. Derrick
`amended to add additional claims for false advertising and deceptive trade practices arising out
`of CWC's labeling of its replacement screens.
