DYK, Circuit Judge.
Centricut, LLC (New Hampshire) and Centricut, LLC (Delaware) (collectively “Centricut”) appeal the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, finding that Cen-tricut infringed U.S. Patent No. 5,023,425 (the “ ’425 patent”) and assessing damages in favor of The Esab Group, Inc. (“Esab”), the assignee of the ’425 patent. Esab cross appeals the damages award. We hold that Esab did not meet its burden in proving infringement, reverse the judgment of infringement, and dismiss the cross appeal as moot.
