Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co. v. Johnson Educator Food Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit December 7, 1925

Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co. v. Johnson Educator Food Co., 10 F.2d 656 (D.C. Cir. 1925)

56 App. D.C. 91; 1925 U.S. App. LEXIS 2301

Opinion of the Court

ROBB, Associate Justice.

Appeal from concurrent decisions of the Patent Office dismissing appellant’s opposition to the registration by appellee of the word “Cookieland” as a trade-mark for cookies, crackers, cakes, and biscuits.

Appellant does not use this mark as a trade-mark, but bases its opposition upon the contention that the word is descriptive. We agree with the Patent_Office that “Cookie-land” is not descriptive, within the meaning of the Trade-mark Act (33 Stat. 724 [Comp. St. § 9485 et seq.]), and hence that it is registrable to the appellee. Decision affirmed.

Affirmed.
