INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE ASPECTS OF TRADEMARK DILUTION LAW

17 Transnat’l L. & Contemp. Prob. 603-773 (2008)

DESCRIPTION

With the U.S. Supreme Court's decision of Moseley v. V Secret Catalogue, Inc. and the passsage of the Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006, dilution is back in the judicial and academic consciousness in the United States. It is therefore an appropriate time to consider anew whether U.S. law would be well served by embracing a less isolationist approach to trademark dilution.  Co-edited with Professor Mark Janis, this written symposium brings together several leading trademark law scholars from the United States and abroad to explore the international and comparative dimensions of trademark dilution with the objective of providing guidance for jurists and commentators who continue to grapple with this difficult concept.
