STAPLETON, District Judge:
Plaintiff, The Toro Company (“Toro”) and defendant Jacobsen Manufacturing Company (“Jacobsen”) 1 are competitors in the manufacture and sale of labor-saving machines for outdoor use by consumers.

This Opinion constitutes the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law after a trial on the merits.
