the term "trademark", but they are actually not all that similar
otherwise.
I don't know what you mean by "similar," but both the creation of
trademarks and the creation of a remedy for trademark dilution are
both part of the Trademark Act of 1946 (aka Title 15, Chapter 22, of
the United States Code). Registration of trademarks is Sec. 1051, and
the prohibition of dilution is in Sec. 1125. Your statement here is
at best incoherent, and at worst simply incorrect. See generally

.
As for correcting the entry on trademark dilution, I hope it is clear
why I forbear from editing articles on Wikipedia these days --
especially articles relating to legal issues, where somebody might
glibly presume I expect my edits to be "accepted without question."
