You can only guess about such things except where they were expressly 
stated:

"PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request judgment against Defendant as 
follows:

(1) That the Court issue injunctive relief against Defendant, and that 
Defendant, its directors, principals, officers, agents, representatives, 
servants, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns, and all others in 
active concert or participation with Defendant, be enjoined and restrained 
from copying, modifying, distributing or making any other infringing use of 
Plaintiffs' software.

(2) That the Court order Defendant to pay Plaintiffs' actual and 
consequential damages incurred, in an amount to be determined at trial;

(3) That the Court order Defendant to account for and disgorge to Plaintiffs 
all profits derived by Defendant from its unlawful acts;

(4) That the Court order Defendant to pay Plaintiffs' litigation expenses, 
including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of this action; and
(5) That the Court grant Plaintiffs any such further relief as the Court may 
deem just and proper. "

This is what the SFLC asked for, but they got nothing.  Verizon still 
distributes the routers and no injunction was issued.  Verizon paid no 
damages.  Verizon disgorged not profits.  Verizon paid no litigation 
expenses for the SFLC.  The court merely dismissed the case with predjudice. 
That sure looks like they came up empty.
