1Opinion of the Court
MICHEL, Circuit Judge.
State Industries, Inc. (“State”) appeals the judgment, unchanged after reconsideration on remand, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, awarding damages for patent infringement but denying its request for enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 (1988). State Indus. v. Mor-Flo Indus., 17 USPQ2d 1706, 1990 WL 292151 (E.D.Tenn. 1990). Because the court did not abuse its discretion in denying enhanced damages, we affirm. And because State’s appeal is frivolous as filed and as argued, we impose sanctions pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 38.
