MANION, Circuit Judge.
Lorillard Tobacco Company sued A & E Oil, Incorporated, its two shareholders, and one of its employees alleging that they violated Lorillard’s trademark for Newport Cigarettes. The district court granted Lorillard’s motion for summary judgment, awarding $50,000 in statutory damages. The district court subsequently determined that Lorillard was entitled to attorneys’ fees and entered a permanent injunction. The defendants appeal only the decision determining Lorillard’s entitlement to attorneys’ fees. We affirm.
