Trade Mark Case Dismissed by Supreme Court
The Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the case of Wo A Gains & Co versus Knecht & Son for lack of jurisdiction. The dispute involved a claim that Knecht infringed a trademark by using a raven design on goods, which Gains argued resembled his mark. The patent commissioner ruled the raven is not a crow and thus not infringing, a view upheld by District of Columbia courts.
