Trademark Dilution: Theoretical and Empirical Inquiries

October 5, 2007

Santa Clara, California

Symposium website: http://www.scu.edu/law/tmdilution/



Sponsored by the High Tech Law Institute, Santa Clara University School of
Law



*About the Symposium*



This one-day symposium will bring together legal scholars and social
scientists to examine trademark dilution as a legal and social
phenomenon.  Through
the cross-disciplinary conversation, this conference will shed more light on
the purported harms caused by trademark dilution and possible policy
approaches to address those harms.



The Santa Clara Computer & High Tech Law Journal anticipates publishing a
complementary symposium edition of the journal.  In addition, trademark
dilution research will be collected at the symposium website (
http://www.scu.edu/law/tmdilution/ ), and videos from the event will be
posted there as well.
