​🇺🇸 Extraterritorial trademark protection in the USA

In the USA the Lanham Act is the main act regulating trademarks. The Lanham Act establishes a national system of trademark registration and provides protection in case of illegal use of a trademark if such use is likely to cause consumer confusion.

The case Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic International, Inc. raised the question: can the owner of a US trademark, according to the Lanham Act, protect it if a trademark infringement took place outside of the US?

The background

The American company Hetronic International (manufactures radio remote controls) sued several companies none of them incorporated in the US), which sold similar products using the Hetronic trademarks (most of the sales were carried outside of the US).

First instance court awarded Hetronic $96 million in damages for illegal use of trademarks, considering all worldwide sales. The court also entered a permanent worldwide injunction on the illegal use of trademarks. The court's decision was appealed and came to the Appeal court of the Tenth circuit.

Defendant’s opinion

The Lanham Act is applied extraterritorially only if the defendant's behavior has a significant impact on the USA trade (which is not the case in this occasion).

Court’s opinion

The Tenth Circuit ruled that in this case it is necessary to analyze the following:
▫️if the defendant is a US citizen;
▫️ whether the defendant’s actions have a considerable effect on the US commerce (when the defendant is not a US citizen).

The Tenth Circuit concluded that the Lanham Act could be applied extraterritorial as the defendants’ conduct had a significant impact on the US trade:
▫️a huge number of the defendants' products got into the USA;
▫️the plaintiff submitted evidence that consumers were confused (for example, they carried the defendant's products to the plaintiff for repair, thinking that this was his production).

However, the Ten Circuit narrowed the expansive injunction only to countries in which the plaintiff currently sells its products using his trademarks.

No one was left indifferent

Thus, the American Bar Association (ABA) filed an amicus brief with the US Supreme Court asking to clarify the application of the Lanham Act in this case. ABA argues that the development of the Internet has erased borders between states, and therefore the standard for the extraterritorial trademark protection should be weakened.

However, not everyone unequivocally agrees with the extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act. For example, German judges and professors believe the territoriality principle is the most important principle of intellectual property law, so the extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act «impinges on the sovereign rights of other states».

And how do you feel about the extraterritorial trademark protection?
