Insights: Publications Trademark Dilution and Free Riding
Edward Elgar Publishing
Trademark owners are motivated to litigate for a variety of reasons, often taking action in order to protect the integrity of a trademark and its commercial magnetism. This book assists the reader in navigating through the array of issues threatening well-known trademarks.
Structured in three parts, the book first maps out the concept of trademark dilution as it has developed in Europe, in the U.S. and at the international level. It then sets out the current law on dilution in the most significant jurisdictions across the globe, explaining the national position on protection, infringement and remedies. Finally, it delivers a deep-dive into how fair use, parody and freedom of expression have affected dilution enforcement.
This book is a must-have resource for trademark professionals worldwide, and will also stand as a valuable reference point for intellectual property scholars.
