Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Call&Talk's use of a deliberately misspelled version of CallTalk's domain name to sell pornographic phone conversations is likely to cause dilution of CallTalk's trademark. Dilution occurs when a third party uses a similar mark in a way that blurs the distinctiveness of the original mark or tarnishes its reputation. Call&Talk's use of "callltalk" is similar enough to CallTalk's "calltalk" to create a likelihood of dilution, particularly because the use is for a purpose that is likely to damage CallTalk's reputation.
