Conair Corp., No. 2011-1583, (“Merits Appeal”), was stayed pending this court’s decision in Travel Sentry, Inc. v. David Tropp, Nos. 2011-1023, -1367. Shortly after this court’s decision in Travel Sentry, the court decided the Merits Appeal, vacating and remanding the district court’s judgment. Accordingly, vacatur of the district court’s denial of attorneys’ fees is also warranted. See Raytheon Co. v. Indigo Systems Corp., 688 F.3d 1311, 1313 n.1 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
