From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Rafael Newton Aguila appeals from the final judg e- ment of the Southern District of Florida in a trademark and patent infringement suit filed by Edge Systems LLC and Axia Medscienes, LLC .1 Specifically, Aguila argues that the district court abused its discretion by dismi ssing one of his affirmative defenses, imposing Rule 11 san c- tions, denying his motion to strike the expert report of Edge Systems’ patent infringement expert, and granting a protective order that reduced the number of depositions Aguila was allowed to take.
