ORDER
JAMES C. HILL, District Judge.
This is an action for trademark infringement and unfair competition. Plaintiff, a manufacturer of soft drink syrup and beverage made therefrom, asserts that it is the registered holder of the trademarks “Coca-Cola” and “Coke.” These trademarks, allege plaintiff, symbolize a valuable good will. Plaintiff further alleges defendant, a corporation which operates restaurants, has infringed these trademarks and engaged in unfair competition by serving a beverage not produced by plaintiff or its licensees to customers who order Coca-Cola or Coke.
