476 F.2d 1373 (C.C.P.A. 1973)

Opinion

Patent Appeal No. 8924.

April 19, 1973.

Ronald L. Panitch, Edward C. Gonda, Seidel, Gonda Goldhammer, Philadelphia, Pa., attorneys of record, for appellant.

Alex Friedman, New York City, attorney of record, for appellee.

Appeal from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

Before MARKEY, Chief Judges, RICH, BALDWIN and LANE, Judges, and ALMOND, Senior Judge.


This appeal is from the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, reported at 167 USPQ 411 (1970), dismissing appellant's opposition to appellee's application to register CRYSTAL PAVILION for cosmetic skin lotion. Appellant relied on its prior registrations of marks 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.

Application No. 300,809 filed June 19, 1968.


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 marketing of a cosmetic skin cream under the mark CRYSTAL PAVILION would not suggest to purchasers that it originates from or is any way associated with the producer of DAVID CRYSTAL or CRYSTAL clothing.

Affirmed.
