Original Title:
Dilution in Law of Trademarks and Distinctive Signs
Translated title:
Dilution in Law of Trademarks and Distinctive Signs
Summary:
This dissertation explores trademark dilution, a legal concept protecting famous marks from losing their distinctiveness, even in unrelated markets. Unlike traditional trademark infringement, which focuses on competition and consumer confusion, dilution safeguards the unique identity of well-known brands. By preventing unauthorized use of a mark that could weaken its association with its original source, trademark dilution ensures the long-term value of strong trademarks.
