General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Fleischmann Distilling Corp. v. Maier Brewing Co., 386 U.S. 714 (1967)
Fleischmann Distilling Corp. v. Maier Brewing Co. No. 214 Argued February 14, 1967 Decided May 8, 1967 386 U.S. 714
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Respondents were held to have deliberately infringed petitioners’ Lanham Act trademark rights. The District Court then awarded petitioners reasonable attorney’s fees, relying upon case authority to the effect that such an award is permissible when the infringement is "deliberate." The Court of Appeals, having granted an interlocutory appeal, reversed. The Lanham Act provides, in § 35, for compensatory recovery measured by the defendant’s profits accruing from his infringement, the costs of the action, and damages which may be trebled in appropriate circumstances.
Held: Attorney’s fees are not recoverable under the Lanham Act. The meticulous statutory provisions set forth in § 35 are exclusive of any other monetary remedies for violation of rights protected by the Act. Pp. 717-721.
359 F.2d 156, affirmed.
