Ohio National Life Ins. v. Ohio Life Ins.

Opinion of the Court

O’Neill, J.

The words, “The Ohio Life Insurance Company,” used in the corporate name of a life insurance company, are not so deceptively similar to the words, “The Ohio National Life Insurance Company,” used in the corporate name of another life insurance company, as to lead to confusion and uncertainty on the part of the public, resulting in unfair competition.

Judgment reversed.

Taft, C. J., Zimmerman, Matthias, Herbert, Schneider and Brown, JJ., concur.
