Fair & Carnival Supply Co. v. Shapiro
Fair & Carnival Supply Co. v. Shapiro
Opinion of the Court
In the court below the plaintiffs, the makers of dolls, to which it had given the name “Bewtie Dolls” and of which it had sold large numbers, filed its bill charging the defendants with unfair competition and violation of plaintiff’s trade-mark, in the sale of a doll of similar appearance under the trade-name of “the Beauty Doll.” The plaintiff’s application for a preliminary injunction was heard by the court on affidavits and refused. Thereupon the plaintiff appeals to this court.
Without entering upon a discussion of the pertinent facts, we may say the affidavits satisfy us the case was one where there was a considerable range of discretion as to whether a court should decide the question of injunction on preliminary or final hearing. In the exercise of that discretion, the court followed the latter course. Without, as we have said here, discussing the facts and expressing no conclusion there
The appeal is therefore dismissed.
