Supreme Court Decision Syllabus (SCOTUS Podcast)
Dewberry Group Inc v. Dewberry Engineers Inc (Trademark)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Dewberry Group, Inc. v. Dewberry Engineers Inc., the Supreme Court addressed the scope of monetary remedies under the Lanham Act. The case arose from a trademark dispute between two entities using the "Dewberry" name. The district court awarded the plaintiff not only the defendant's profits but also those of affiliated companies. The Fourth Circuit upheld this award, reasoning that a broad interpretation of "defendant’s profits" was permissible under the statute.
The Supreme Court unanimously reversed, holding that a plaintiff in a trademark infringement case under the Lanham Act may recover only the profits of the infringing defendant itself—not those of its affiliates or related entities. The Court emphasized principles of corporate separateness and statutory interpretation, rejecting the expansive reading of "defendant’s profits" adopted by the lower court.
Justice Elena Kagan delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
