PER CURIAM.

The judgment is affirmed on the grounds that (1) the asserted claim 9 of United States Patent No. 6,494,457 (the ’457 patent) would have been obvious and (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to permit plaintiffs to amend the complaint to include claim of the ’457 patent.

AFFIRMED
