1Opinion of the Court
GAJARSA, Circuit Judge.
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (“IFF”) appeals from a decision of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) affirming the final rejections of three trademark applications, Application Serial Nos. 74/532,528, 74/532,529, and 74/591,331, each seeking to register a “phantom” trademark. 1 See In re International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., 47 USPQ2d 1314 (TTAB May 19, 1998). Because we find that the Board did not err in refusing to register the marks described in IFF’s applications, we affirm.
