## Opinion text

WORLEY, Chief Judge
(dissenting).
On this record 1 I am of the opinion there would be a likelihood of confusion. At least, I feel obliged to resolve doubt on that score in favor of the first registrant and against the newcomer.
. “The court shall hear and determine such appeal on the evidence produced before the Patent Office * * Lanham Act, Section 21 ( 15 U.S.C. § 1071 ).
