	Trademark Dilution
		Dilution is the blurring or tarnishing of the image or persona of a well known trademark by use of a similar mark typically on unrelated goods, or in a manner that tends to reduce its distinctiveness.
		Justification for the dilution doctrine is that somehow the public benefits from protection against diluting the distinctiveness of a famous mark and that it simply is not right to reduce the importance or value of a very valuable mark for the free ride of the newcomer, even if the public is not confused.
		Although dilution has existed for many years, what is significant is that by elevating dilution to a higher status in the law, lawyers and businesspeople alike might be expected to be more conscious of the law in the selection process.

	Trademark dilution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The concept of dilution is much newer than the rest of trademark law; only in the mid-1990s did the United States enact a law against trademark dilution, although various states had begun adopting such laws shortly after World War II, and the idea was floated in academic writing as early as the late 1920s.
		Instead, dilution protection law aims to protect sufficiently strong trademarks from losing their singular association in the public mind with a particular product, perhaps imagined if the trademark were to be encountered independently of any product (i.e., just the word Pepsi spoken, or on a billboard).
		Dilution is sometimes divided into two related concepts: blurring, or essentially basic dilution, which "blurs" a mark from association with only one product to signify other products in other markets (such as "Kodak shoes"); and tarnishment, which is the weakening of a mark through unsavory or unflattering associations.

		Dilution measures how much the additional issuance of stock may reduce existing shareowners’ stake in a company.
		Dilution is particularly relevant for long-term incentive compensation plans since these programs essentially issue stock at below-market prices to the recipients.
		Dilution from long-term incentive compensation plans may be evaluated using a variety of techniques including, but not limited to, the reduction in earnings per share and voting power resulting from the increase in outstanding shares.

	The Trademark Dilution Revision Act Of 2006 And Your Online Business by Gemma E. Hoffman
		The Act provides for the cause of action known as “dilution.” Dilution is a relatively new addition to trademark law that allows a plaintiff to recover from another’s unauthorized use of his trademark where such use degraded or diminished the uniqueness and/or distinctiveness of his famous trademark.
		Under the new cause of action for “dilution by blurring” you may run into problems simply by choosing a trademark that is similar to a famous trademark that causes the famous mark to lose its distinctiveness.
		It is particularly important to note that the new causes of action for dilution, dilution by blurring and dilution by tarnishment apply a “likelihood” of dilution rather than an actual dilution standard.

	Trademark Dilution (BitLaw)
		Dilution differs from normal trademark infringement in that there is no need to prove a likelihood of confusion to protect a mark.
		Instead, all that is required is that use of a "famous" mark by a third party causes the dilution of the "distinctive quality" of the mark.
		Therefore, it is possible to use a dilution cause of action against users of the same mark even when the defendant's goods and services bears no relation to the goods or services of the famous mark.

	Accretion Dilution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dilution is a concept and type of heightened protection in trademark law intended to protect the trademarks with the strongest identifiability from being used innoncompeting markets, thus "diluting" the singular power of the mark to identify one product.
		A trademark is diluted when the use of similar oridentical trademarks in other non-competing markets means that the trademark in and of itself will lose its capacity to signify asingle source.
		Instead, dilution protection law aims to protect sufficiently strong trademarks fromlosing their singular association in the public mind with a particular product, perhaps imagined if the trademark were to beencountered independently of any product (i.e., just the word Pepsi spoken, or on a billboard).

	Info/Law » Trademark Dilution Revision Act Becomes Law
		Unlike traditional trademark infringement scenarios, in which the injury is the likelihood of confusion among consumers, dilution recognizes the potential injury to a trademark in cases where there is no such confusion, perhaps because the products are dissimilar or the circumstances make a traditional claim untenable.
		The dilution concept has long been criticized for separating a trademark claim from its conceptual moorings: in theory, the principal interest protected by trademark law has been to prevent consumers from being confused.
		The 1996 dilution statute listed such defenses (such as comparative advertising, news reporting, and noncommercial use) as applicable to actions brought under “this section,” which might be read to apply not just to dilution claims but to many other cases under Section 43 of the Lanham Act.

		In addition, courts have traditionally dismissed state dilution claims unless there is also a finding of infringement or unfair competition based upon a likelihood of confusion.
