EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judge:
National Business Forms & Printing, Inc. (“NBFP”) appeals the district court’s partial grant of summary judgment for Ford Motor Company (“Ford”); the district court’s final judgment holding NBFP liable for trademark infringement; and the district court’s order denying NBFP’s motion to amend its complaint.

For the reasons that follow, we AFFIRM in part and REVERSE in part.
