1Opinion of the Court
J. SKELLY WRIGHT, District Judge.
Zippo claims unfair competition and trade-mark infringement against the defendant in connection with the marketing in New Orleans, Louisiana, of Japanese cigarette lighters substantially identical in appearance to those manufactured by Zippo. 1 Zippo asserts that its products, identified by name and appearance, have become a byword with the American public and that these Japanese imitators are defrauding it of its business by marketing Chinese copies of its lighters. The case is before the court at this time on application for temporary injunction.
