The decision overturned a lower court's ruling that Abitron Germany GmbH was liable in the United States for trademark infringement that occurred abroad. Hetronic Germany, which was later bought by Abitron Germany GmbH, distributed its products in Europe. A jury found in favor of Hetronic and awarded more than $115 million in damages, $96 million of which was for violating federal trademark law. That $96 million was the subject of the appeal to the Supreme Court. President Joe Biden's administration told the Supreme Court that Abitron should be liable only for its acts abroad that were likely to confuse consumers in the United States.
