Trademark Dilution
The doctrine of trade mark dilution, "misunderstood, misconstrued, and misapplied" since its first appearance on the American legal scene in the 1920s, has recently begun to attract attention in English law and in much of Europe with the advent of the Trade Marks Act 1994 and the EC Trade Marks Directive. This book traces the historical progression of the concept of trade mark dilution from its earliest appearance through its acceptance by a number of U.S. state legislatures and eventually into English law.
