FRIEDMAN, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the appellant The American Original Corporation (American), which was the successful plaintiff in a patent infringement suit, challenges (1) the adequacy of the damages awarded, (2) the refusal of the district court to treble the damages and to award attorney fees, and (3) the ruling of the district court that the appellees did not violate, and therefore were not in contempt of, the court’s earlier order enjoining infringement of the patent. We affirm.
