State and federal trademark dilution
Article Abstract:
Interest in the dilution doctrine has returned due to the Trademark Dilution Act of 1995 and franchise clients should be aware of their risks if they adopt marks that implicate dilution, also of their need for expert evidence if they are involved in a dilution dispute and their ability to use the dilution doctrine to stop uses of similar marks. Evidence of dilution includes similarity of marks, proximity of products, and sophistication of the customers.

Fixing fixation: a copyright with teeth for improvisational performers
Article Abstract:
Improvisational performers should receive federal copyright protections through relaxation of statutory fixation requirements. Recommended copyright law changes include altering the definition of fixation and fixed performance to include improvisational work. Similarly, anti-bootlegging language in the law could be made applicable to these performances.
