The Supreme Court unanimously ruled on June 29 that a trademark law doesn’t regulate the use of U.S. trademarks outside the United States.
At the same time, the justices split 5–4 on whether the holder of an infringed trademark could still seek damages domestically for the trademark infringement that took place abroad if it caused consumer confusion in the United States. The four-justice minority said the injured party should be able to seek damages in the United States.
