Abstract

This comment will focus on the way in which courts in the United States and the European Union have navigated the nontraditional waters of the relevant intellectual property statutes through their statutory interpretations, knowledge of common business administration, and their understanding of commerce. More specifically, this comment will focus on color trademarks, the threat of dilution, and how United States and European Union laws on this topic interact.
