In re William Schluderberg & Son

269 F. 680, 50 App. D.C. 164, 1920 U.S. App. LEXIS 1907

Opinion

ROBB, Associate Justice.

Appeal from a decision of the Patent Office refusing to register the word “Highland” as a trade-mark for ham, corned beef, and cooked shoulders.

It appearing that Matthews & Co. have registered and long used, as a trade-mark in connection with the sale of canned meats, the representation of a Highlander and the words “Highland Brand,” the decision must be affirmed, for it is obvious that confusion would be likely to result, should registration be accorded appellant’s mark.

Affirmed.
