Trademark Dilution: What Marks are Eligible for Protection

This lesson covers the types of marks that are deemed eligible for protection under federal and state dilution laws.  Although the focus is on eligibility under the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (Lanham Act section 43(c)), there is coverage of the different types of state dilution statutes -- those based on the earlier (1964) Model State Trademark Bill (such as Massachusetts), and those based on the federal statute.
