Supreme Court Rules Trademark Plaintiffs Can Only Recover Profits from Defendants Named in the Action

On February 26, 2025, the United States Supreme Court unanimously held that a prevailing plaintiff in a trademark infringement case may recover profits only from the defendant named as a party to the proceeding, and may not also recover profits from the defendant’s affiliates who are not parties to the proceeding. Dewberry Group, Inc., fka Dewberry Capital Corp. v. Dewberry Engineers Inc., No. 23-900, _____ U.S. ____ (Feb. 26, 2025). The Court’s decision reinforced the principle of corporate separateness, but also left open the possibility that the federal trademark statute (the “Lanham Act”) might allow trial courts to consider evidence related to a defendant’s affiliates when exercising the discretion to adjust a profits award upwards or downwards for the sake of fairness. IP attorneys Alex MacKay and Sam Miller take a look at the decision in this Stites & Harbison Client Alert.
