In re MARINE AIR SYSTEMS, INC.

No. 88-1049.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

March 29, 1988.

Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, NICHOLS, Senior Circuit Judge, and NIES, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Marine Air Systems, Inc. (MAS) appeals from the final decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office Trademark Trial and Appeal Board refusing registration of MARINE AIR SYSTEMS for "marine air conditioners, marine refrigerators, and component parts," application Ser. No. 545,883, on the grounds that the alleged mark is merely descriptive of such goods (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1052(e)(1) (1982)) and that MAS failed to establish that its alleged mark had acquired distinctiveness (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1052(f) (1982)). MAS has failed to persuade the court of factual or legal error in the board's decision. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the board.
