E) Trademark Dilution Act

Explanation:

The Trademark Dilution Act was passed by Congress in 1995 and it's sole purpose is to protect famous trademarks from similar imitations or copycats.

Long before this law was passed, famous trademarks like Coke had to sue imitators that tried to use similar names to market "alternative" products. For example, in 1920 Coca Cola (owner of Coke) sued Koke for trademark infringement and won.

The Trademark Dilution Act prohibits using trademarks and logos that are similar to famous trademarks because it dilutes their reputation and goodwill.
