Opinion

Patent Appeal No. 2523.

December 19, 1930.

Appeal from the Commissioner of Patents.

Eugene E. Stevens, of Washington, D.C. (Edward D. Jones, of Chicago, Ill., and Albert L. Jacobs, of Washington, D.C., of counsel), for appellant.

George C. Shoemaker and Harry F. Riley, both of Washington, D.C., for appellee.

Before GRAHAM, Presiding Judge, and BLAND, HATFIELD, GARRETT, and LENROOT, Associate Judges.

LENROOT, Associate Judge.

This is an appeal in a trade-mark opposition proceeding. The Commissioner of Patents held that appellant was estopped to oppose the registration sought by appellee, and reversed the decision of the Examiner of Trade-Mark Interferences, which sustained the notice of opposition and adjudged that appellee was not entitled to the registration sought by its application. From this decision of the Commissioner appellant takes this appeal.

The issues involved herein are substantially the same as those involved in the case between the same parties, 45 F.2d 912, Patent Appeal No. 2522, decided this day (Patents), and by stipulation of the parties the record in said last-named case became the record in the case at bar.

For the reasons given in our decision in said Patent Appeal No. 2522, the decision of the Commissioner of Patents is reversed.

Reversed.
