2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 54 - NAMES|Chapter 11 - Trademarks|Section 1124 - Injury to business or reputation; dilution

§ 1124. Injury to business or reputation; dilution.  The owner of a mark which is famous in this Commonwealth shall be entitled, subject to the principles of equity and upon such terms as the court deems reasonable, to an injunction against another person's commercial use of a mark or trade name if such use begins after the mark has become famous and causes dilution of the distinctive quality of the mark and to obtain such other relief as is provided in this section. In determining whether a mark is distinctive and famous, a court may consider factors such as, but not limited to: (1) The degree of inherent or acquired distinctiveness of the mark in this Commonwealth. (2) The duration and extent of use of the mark in connection with the goods and services with which the mark is used. (3) The duration and extent of advertising and publicity of the mark in this Commonwealth. (4) The geographical extent of the trading area in which the mark is used. (5) The channels of trade for the goods or services with which the mark is used. (6) The degree of recognition of the mark in the trading areas and channels of trade in this Commonwealth used by the mark's owner and the person against whom the injunction is sought. (7) The nature and extent of use of the same or similar marks by third parties. (8) Whether the mark is the subject of a registration in this Commonwealth or a Federal registration under the act of March 3, 1881 (21 Stat. 502) or the act of February 20, 1905 (33 Stat. 724), repealed by the Trademark Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 427, 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq.), or on the principal register. In an action brought under this section, the owner of a famous mark shall be entitled only to injunctive relief in this Commonwealth unless the person against whom the injunctive relief is sought willfully intended to trade on the owner's reputation or to cause dilution of the famous mark. If such willful intent is proven, the owner shall also be entitled to the remedies set forth in this chapter, subject to the discretion of the court and the principles of equity. The following shall not be actionable under this section: (1) Fair use of a famous mark by another person in comparative commercial advertising or promotion to identify the competing goods or services of the owner of the famous mark. (2) Noncommercial use of a mark. (3) All forms of news reporting and news commentary.  (June 18, 1998, P.L.518, No.73, eff. 60 days)
