ABC Blocks

When a famous trademark or service mark is used in a context in which the mark’s reputation for quality is tarnished or its distinction is blurred. for example, the use of the word candyland for a pornographic site on the internet diluted the reputation of the candyland mark for the well-known children’s game, even though the traditional basis for trademark infringement (probable customer confusion) wasn’t an issue.
