Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006 Now Law

The official full text is available at GovTrack.us, which doesn't yet indicate that Bush has signed the bill into law, but this White House Press Release says he did so last Friday. The Act legislatively overrules a significant portion of the Supreme Court's 2003 opinion in Moseley v. V Secret Catalogue, which held that in order to be successful, a dilution plaintiff must prove actual dilution of its mark. Under the Act a mere likelihood of dilution will suffice. More information here.
