1Opinion of the Court

GOODWIN, Circuit Judge:

E-Systems, Inc., owner of the registered trademark Montek, sued Monitek, Inc., for injunctive and other relief to protect its mark. Monitek counterclaimed for injunc-tive relief. After a trial in 1982, both sides appealed, and we remanded the case for clarification of the findings and conclusions. This second appeal is from the resulting judgment which ordered Monitek to abandon the Monitek tradename and to abandon its application for further use of the Moni-tek trademark. Monitek appeals. We reverse.
