David Crystal, Inc. v. Helene Curtis Industries, Inc.

This appeal is from the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, reported at 168 USPQ 124 (1970), dismissing appellant’s opposition to appellee’s application1 to register ICE CRYSTALS for bath oil. Appellant relied on its prior registrations2 of trademarks including the word CRYSTAL for ladies’ and misses’ dresses, dress ensembles, coats, suits, blouses, skirts, men’s wear, fabrics, piece goods, and the like, and alleged likelihood of confusion.

Having considered the decision of the board, all of the arguments presented by the parties, and the record before us, we affirm. We agree with the board that the respective marks neither look nor sound alike, and we agree that there is no reasonable likelihood of confusion or mistake.

Affirmed.
