## Opinion text

WORLEY, Chief Judge
(concurring).
This is a close question. My agreement with the majority is based on our established principle of resolving doubt in favor of the first user and against the newcomer. See United States Time Corp. v. Tennenbaum (Tennenbaum & Co., Telix Watch, assignee, substituted), 267 F.2d 327 , 46 CCPA 895.
