Dewberry Group, Inc. v. Dewberry Engineers Inc.

Summary

The Court held that under 15 U.S.C. §1117(a) a Lanham Act disgorgement award may include only the profits of the named defendant, Dewey Group, and not the profits of its separately incorporated affiliates, rejecting the lower courts' treatment of the entities as a single corporate unit. The decision vacated the appellate judgment and remanded for a new award consistent with this interpretation, leaving open how the just‑sum provision may be applied.
