United States Ninth Circuit
Levi Strauss & Co. v. Abercrombie & Fitch Trading Co., 09-16322
In a trademark dispute alleging Abercrombie & Fitch diluted Levi's protected "Arcuate" design in violation of the Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006 (TDRA), 15 U.S.C. section 1125(c), district court's finding of no dilution is reversed where the "identical or nearly identical" standard did not survive Congress's enactment of the TDRA and the district court's use of the incorrect standard was not harmless error.
