TRASK, Circuit Judge:
This appeal stems from a dispute over appellant Carson Manufacturing Co.’s manufacture and distribution of a highway marker which is very similar to a patented marker manufactured and distributed by appellee Carsonite International Corp. Appellant argues that the court below erred in awarding damage and injunctive relief for patent infringement, trademark infringement, and unfair competition based on a jury verdict of appellant’s liability. We reverse.
