1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
David Berg and Company (Berg) manufactures and sells meat products. Berg is suing Gatto International Trading Company, Inc. (Gatto), and New England Foods International Corporation (New England) for infringing Berg’s trademark. The district court held that Berg had failed as a matter of law to prove the existence of any basis upon which to hold either Gatto or New England contributorily responsible for a fourth party’s trademark infringement, and that Berg had also failed as a matter of law to meet its burden of proving any likelihood of product confusion. We affirm.
