The Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals has upheld a roughly $1.2 billion judgment against Antrix Corp, ISRO's commercial arm, in the Devas Multimedia dispute. The court rejected Antrix's arguments that India was the proper venue and that US courts lacked jurisdiction. However, the appeals court did not decide whether India's annulment of the original arbitration award, finalised after the Supreme Court declined review in October 2023, should affect enforcement of the US judgment. That question has been sent back to the district court. The dispute began with a 2005 satellite agreement that Antrix terminated in 2011.
