The Moseley Decision: The Supreme Court On Trademark Dilution
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued its first decision interpreting the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 (FTDA) in Moseley v. V Secret Catalogue, Inc.

This decision effectively raises the bar for trademark owners and their counsel to prove a claim of actual dilution.
