Michael Atkins in Dilution

It’s been a full year of “likelihood of dilution.” On Oct. 6, 2006, President Bush signed the Trademark Dilution Revision Act, which changed how practitioners, academics, trademark owners, and the courts view famous marks. This week, I’ll recap some of the more important decisions under the new statute. In the meantime, check out 43(B)logger Rebecca Tushnet’s dispatches (here, here, here, and here) from Santa Clara University’s timely conference on “Trademark Dilution: Theoretical and Empirical Inquiries.” There’s tons of great stuff in her detailed record of the event.
