Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appeal from a decision of the Patent Office sus-

taining the opposition of the Beech-Nut Packing Company, appellee here, to the 'registration by the appellant of the term “Beechnut” as a trade-mark for cereal breakfast foods.

Mansfield Tire & Rubber Co. v. Ford Motor Co., 44 App. D. C. 205; In re United Drug Co., 44 App. D. C. 209; Burrell v. Simplex Electric Heating Co., 44 App. D. C. 452; Howard Co. v.
