Ashley Miller, KTVB.com; Under Armour trademark dispute hits family start-up company with Boise ties
"“Trademark dilution” is the legal standard that gives companies like
Under Armour the right to sue businesses that have similar names as
them, even if their products offered do not overlap. Trademark dilution
argues that a famous trademark or brand can lose its “uniqueness” or be
watered down if another brand has a similar name."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
