Amending Disposition Opinion AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED;The opinion filed on July 11, 2017, and appearing at 862 F.3d 1131, is hereby amended as follows: on page 1140, âOmnia asserts that its use of Stone Creekâs mark is protected under the Tea RoseâRectanus doctrine and argues that we may affirm the district courtâs judgment of no liability on this alternative basis.â is replaced with âThe Tea RoseâRectanus doctrine is an affirmative defense separate and apart from the underlying infringement claim. 5 McCarthy, supra, § 26:4. Omnia asserts that its use of Stone Creekâs mark is protected under that doctrine and argues that we may affirm the district courtâs judgment of no liability on this alternative basis.â With this amendment, Judges McKeown and Callahan vote to deny the petition for rehearing en banc, and Judge Quist so recommends. The full court has been advised of the petition for rehearing en banc, and no active judge has requested a vote on whether to rehear the matter en banc. Fed. R. App. P. 35. The petition for rehearing en banc is denied. No further petitions for panel or en banc rehearing shall be permitted. [10563520] [15-17418, 16-15304]
