RULING ON JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF A FINAL JUDGMENT ON CONSENT
BLUMENFELD, District Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION
This case comes before me in a somewhat unusual posture. On August 23, 1983, I granted partial summary judgment to defendants on their claim that the trademark Toll House owned by plaintiff is invalid, because Toll House is a generic name when used in connection with cookies. The Nestle Co. v. Chester’s Market, Inc., 571 F.Supp. 763 (D.Conn.1983). Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b), the entry of final judgment was directed on that claim, and plaintiff thereafter filed a notice of appeal.
