What is re garded as one of the most important trade-mark oases brought before the supreme court in a ctecade has Just been argued In that tribunal, it in volves among other things the ques tion of whether a territorial limit ex ists on a trade-mark which would pre vent, for instance, a. miller from using his rival's trade-mark in Ohio but would not prevent him from using it in other states where the senior claim ant's trade-mark did no business. Allen sk Wheeler Company, of Troy, O., complains that the Hanover Star Milling Company, of German town. Ills., has infringed one of its trade-marks onflour. The sixth United States Clr4 cuit court of appeals held that the Ohio company trade on this brand of flour was all north of Ohio and that the Illinois corporation had built. up a market for a brand under the name in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Missis sippi, not knowing that any one used the same name. Under such circumstances the court held that the protection of the Ohio company's trade-mark did not extend to territory where it had no trade and refused to stop the Illinois company from selling the brand in the south eastern state.
