IPKat co-blogmeister Ilanah has written a conference paper for August’s 5th IP Scholars’ Conference, hosted by the Cardozo Law School, Yeshiva University, New York.
The paper is entitled “Dilution in the United States and European Union (and Beyond) Compared” and focuses in particular on the new test for blurring under the US Trademark Dilution Revision Act 2005 and how the factors mentioned under the test would be treated in the EU. Dilution protection under international law is also considered.

Post a Comment
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
