Appellant, Dunlap & Co., opposes the registration of three trade-marks by appellee, the Bettmann-Dunlap Company, consisting of the word “Dunlap” displayed on different backgrounds. The opposer claimed use of a similar mark upon hats, caps, clothing, parasols, umbrellas, women’s headwear, neckties, mufflers, leather and fabric gloves, furs and scarfs. The applicant’s trade-marks are used on shoes.

The Examiner of Interferences held that the goods on which the marks are used are not of the same descriptive properties, hut refused registration of the mark on the ground that the dominating feature of applicant’s mark is the word “Dunlap,” and, being the name of opposer company, it could not bo appropriated as a trade-mark by the applicant. Erom this decision the applicant took no appeal; but the opposer appealed to the Commissioner on the ground that the Examiner had erred in holding that the goods were not of the same descriptive properties.

The Commissioner refused to review the case on the ground that, since the entire proceeding is to prevent registration, and the Examiner sustained the oppositions upon one of the grounds urged by the opposer, it amounts to a denial of registration, and the opposer in fact has accomplished the result sought, and is accordingly without right of appeal. If the applicant had appealed, then the opposer might have, by cross-appeal, raised the question which he now urges, namely, the similarity of the goods on which the marks are used. But, since there was no appeal by the applicant, his right of registration is as effectively barred as if the judgment had been to sustain the oppositions.

The decision of the Commissioner is affirmed.
