Opinion
Argued April 3, 1929
Reversed April 9, 1929 Objections to cross-bill allowed June 4, 1929
From Marion: L.H. McMAHAN, Judge.
For appellant there was a brief over the names of Mr. I.H. Van Winkle, Attorney General, with an oral argument by Mr. J.B. Hosford, Assistant Attorney General.
For respondent there was a brief and oral argument by Mr. B.W. Macy.
REVERSED.
This case arose in a controversy between two merchants over a trademark. The Hon. Sam A. Kozer, then Secretary of State, directed a cancellation of plaintiff's trademark because, in his opinion, it was an infringement of a trademark to which A. Volchok, the other merchant, was entitled. Plaintiff sued out a writ of review. The writ was not served on the opposing party to the proceeding before the Secretary of State, to wit: A. Volchok. For this reason the Circuit Court was without jurisdiction to entertain the case: Or. L., § 609; Williams v. Henry, 70 Or. 466, 468 ( 142 P. 337).
The judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed and proceedings dismissed.
REVERSED AND DISMISSED.
