SCOTUS Cert Recap of Two Newly Added Cases Concerning Trademarks, Tribal Water Rights
Highlights
On Nov. 4, the Supreme Court agreed to consider:
Does the Lanham Act authorize a U.S. plaintiff to recover against a foreign defendant for trademark-infringing sales made to foreign entities in foreign countries?
Did the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit correctly hold that the federal government has a fiduciary trust duty to assess the Navajo Nation’s water needs and to develop a plan to meet them?
After going several weeks without adding cases to its docket, on Nov. 4 the U.S. Supreme Court set more cases for argument this term, including a case on whether the Lanham Act’s trademark-infringement provisions apply extraterritorially involving the extent of the federal government’s obligations to ensure the Navajo Nation’s access to water in the southwestern United States.
