GREETINGS FROM SD


One very fatigued IPKat is edging towards the end of a long, hard INTA programme here in San Diego. So many points to consider:
* What the current Dilution Bill in the US will actually achieve;

* Who is supporting the Bill, and why?

* The wisdom of the ECJ leaving so much to national courts in its recent Gillette decision (on the use of the word mark GILLETTE by another manufacturer to indicate that its blades fitted Gillette blade holders). In particular, what happens if the way this is done is regarded as honest commercial use in some EU States but not others.
The IPKat is sure that these questions won't go away and looks forward to giving them some heavy thought in the near future.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
