Justices to consider international reach of U.S. trademark law

The US Supreme Court is considering if federal trademark law can be applied to trademark infringement that occurs outside the US, in a case involving Hetronic International and Abitron Austria, which centres around a contract for Hetronic to sell radio remote controls made by Abitron in Europe under Hetronic branding, but where Abitron allegedly reverse-engineered Hetronic's products and sold them as genuine; currently, the question is whether an American jury can rule on a claim of infringement by a foreign company whose activities mainly took place outside the US.
