In re Minnesota Valley Canning Co.
Court of Customs and Patent Appeals
Decided May 25, 1931No. 2736PublishedCited by 1 opinion
1Opinion of the Court
Geaham:, Presiding Judge,
delivered the opinion of the court:
The appellant seeks to register the trade-mark “ Off the Cob,” to be used on canned corn.. The examiner of interferences denied registration on the ground that the mark was descriptive, and this decision, on appeal to the Commissioner of the United States Patent Office, was affirmed upon the same ground.
The argument is made here that the mark “ Off the Cob ” is not ■descriptive but only suggestive, and that it should therefore be registered.
