The General Electric Company Limited v. Jenaer Glaswerk Schott & Gen.

RICH, Judge.

This appeal is from the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board sustaining appellee’s opposition to the registration of “GENALEX” by appellant. 137 USPQ 607.

The reported opinion of the board recites the facts and discusses numerous issues argued below so we shall not repeat them in detail. The single issue before us is that one upon which the board predicated its decision: does “GLENALEX” so resemble marks used and relied upon by opposer as to be likely, when applied to applicant’s goods, to result in confusion, mistake, or deception?

Appellant seeks to register “GENA-LEX”…
