The opinion

WORLEY, Chief Judge

(dissenting)

It seems to me the majority gives entirely too much weight to the pictorial representation. The words “Jerry Finn” so commandingly overshadow the miniature figure that it is difficult to see how that mark could possibly be confused with petitioner’s pictorial representation of what is clearly intended to, and doubtless does, convey the impression only of a jockey.

I am familiar with the decisions cited by the majority, but see nothing therein which would control the facts here. North Star Manufacturing Co. v. Wells Lamont Corp., 193 F.2d 204 , 39 CCPA 764.
