Abstract

This article assesses the impact of the Supreme Court decision Moseley v. V Secret Catalogue Inc. on methods of proving trademark dilution in federal court. It also examines federal court decisions that have interpreted Moseley's rulings on trademark dilution. The article concludes that brand owners are most successful in federal court when the challenged junior user's brand is identical to the senior user's brand. In light of results that indicate that consumer surveys play a minimal role in post-Moseley cases and are susceptible to rejection by courts, this article suggests alternative survey approaches that could better satisfy the rigorous requirements of any foreseeable statutory regime.
