## Opinion text

RICH, Judge
(concurring).
My only reason for sustaining the opposition is that the marks are identical and the goods of both applicant and registrant are electrical goods. I feel the public in sufficient numbers to create a “likelihood of confusion” would believe the goods have a common origin. This is a purely subjective opinion not in the least influenced by the evidence in the record relating to actual confusion.
