Trade Mark Use (Hardcover) (June 16, 2005)
by Jeremy Phillips, Ilanah Simon
"Use" is a concept which is fundamental to modern trade mark law, within the European Union, the US and elsewhere. The use concept is ubiquitous, since it must be understood even before basic issues of registrability, infringement and validity can be resolved. Does use bear the same meaning
in each of these, and other, areas? Written by a team of leading practitioners and academics, this book seeks to address this issue from both a practical and a theoretical perspective.

Trademark Counterfeiting, Product Piracy, and the Billion Dollar Threat to the U.S. Economy  
by Paul R. Paradise
From Library Journal
In today's high-tech world, pirates no longer roam the seas in search of bounty. Instead, they work all over the world, misusing official trademarks, peddling inexpensive "knock-offs" of well-known brands, and selling inferior counterfeit products (all of which resulted, in 1995, in an estimated $200 billion loss to the U.S. economy). Paradise, a freelance electronics, law, and entertainment journalist, here collects articles (many previously published) on global piracy. In one, he delivers a fascinating first-hand account of the U.S.-China trade dispute and the negotiations that prevented a U.S. trade embargo against China; in another, he focuses on a private investigator working to counter the counterfeiters. A chapter on the impact of cyberspace nicely updates this otherwise disjointed assortment of stand-alone pieces. As geopolitical barriers to trade are increasingly dismantled, this book will continue to be a useful reference for law or business collections.ADale F. Farris, Groves, TX

Trademark Dilution: Federal, State, and International Law (June 2002) by David S. Welkowitz
Stay up-to-date and expertly informed in this unpredictable area of the law.
Trademark Dilution: Federal, State, and International Law describes and analyzes the full range of dilution law—which received its first treatment by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004—including the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FTDA), state antidilution laws, and international law. The author’s discussion of the case law under FTDA, analyzing the federal courts’ narrow interpretation of the statute, helps you effectively counsel clients and litigate cases. This landmark treatise also examines the various relevant state laws in detail; describes the many differences between them; and discusses the case law analyzing state statutes, much of which developed before the FTDA was enacted.
Trademark Dilution: Federal, State, and International Law covers such important areas as:
--dilution on the Internet and interaction with the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) --relationship between trade dress and dilution --comparison of state antidilution laws, including those patterned after the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FTDA) and those that differ significantly from the federal statute --actual versus likelihood of dilution --extensive discussion of what constitutes a "famous" mark --international agreements that include trademark dilution protection --and much more.

Lasting Impressions and KP Permanent Make-Up both sell special makeup that can be injected under the skin to hide injuries and--in the words of the court--to "modify nature's dispensations." Lasting Impressions registered a trademark in the terms "Micro Colors." KP produced advertising materials using the term "microcolors" to describe its products. Lasting sued for trademark infringement and KP defended, claiming a fair use of the term, which the trademark statute recognizes as a defense to allegations of infringement. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
