IN RE BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO.

Patent Appeal No. 2920.

56 F.2d 890 (1932)

In re BRUNSWICK-BALKE-COLLENDER CO.

Court of Customs and Patent Appeals.

April 4, 1932.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Albert J. Fihe, of Chicago, Ill. (A. V. Cushman and John J. Darby, both of Washington, D. C., of counsel), for appellant.

T. A. Hostetler, of Washington, D. C., for Commissioner of Patents.

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


GRAHAM, Presiding Judge.

Appellant has applied to the United States Patent Office to register as a trade-mark the word "League," as applied to bowling pins. Registration was denied by both tribunals in the Patent Office upon the theory that the word "League" could not be exclusively appropriated and used as a trade-mark by any one manufacturer of bowling pins; in other words, as we understand it, that the word is descriptive as applied to these goods.
