## Opinion text

SMITH, Judge (concurring).
The differences in sound, appearance and suggestive connotation of the marks in issue are sufficient, in my opinion, to warrant affirmance of the board’s decision without considering the differences in the goods and without relying on the so-called “discriminating purchaser” theory.
