ment which respondent sent petitioners charging them

tration No. 351,264 issued October 26, 1937° for’ the ©

. trade-mark ‘‘ Dutch Boy” (R.A. 3-12). Respondent, in

ae

a counterelaim, charged petitioners’ with trade-mark
} infringement and unfair competition (RA. 15-20).

‘The ‘trial before the late Hon. Herbert W. Erskine —

~ took 25 court days (RA. 62, App. A, 2). The. record
” comprises 2426 printed pages (RA. 88-25 13). There:

ulation. submitted the cause on the original record for

App. A 3). Oral arguments on this record. took six

court days (RA. 63, App. A 3).

Upon this extensive record and these complete argu-—
ments, Judge Murphy granted petitioners the declara-
tory judgment for which they prayed and disinissed
respondent’s counterclaim (RA. 84-86; App. A, pages
24-25). This judgment was supported by detailed find--

ings of fact and sate ara of law AS A, 7 a

District Court; and remanded the cause to the District
Court with dinections to dismiss the petitioners’ com-
- plaint, to grant. the respondent an injunction, to pro-
ceed to take an accounting of the petitioners’ profits,
and to determine the respondent’s damages (RA. 25: a
2548, App. A 26-47; RB. 29-31, App. A'47-49). 7

“After having ordefed an accounting, the District’

$178,657.86 and attorneys’ fees in the sum of $60,800

affirmed (RB. 441, App. A, 87).

~ the Court of Appeals as well as the interlocutory pro-
ceedings leading up to the entry of judgment.

| _ REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT

Petitioners on May 10, 1946, bought the Dutch Paint
‘Company, a small paint factory in San Francisco. At
the time of this purchase, Dutch Paint Cémpany was °
’ producing and selling ‘products: under the “Dutch”
label (RA. 65, Finding. 10, App. A, 5-6). The prede-

cessor Company Was an established business at the time

petitioners acquired it. It had heen in existence since
“March of 1941 (RA. 495). ‘It registered in the ‘San
Francisco Recorder, a local legal paper, as the Dutch

tised continuously i in both the alphabetic and classified "he
sections of the San Francisco Telephone Directory —
- commencing With the August, 1941 issue (RA. 961:
_ 964). When petitioners bought this business, it was
producing about 100 gallons of *‘Dutch’’ paint a day
_. (RA. 483) and it had a number of established custom-
ers (RA. 479-480, 628-631). ae
Petitioners continued the “Duteh”” paint line which
they acquired. until prohibited from so doing by the
’ order of the Court of Appeals (RB, 212). Petitioners’
sales in Dutch Paint and their profits as determined :
by the District pout are as follows (RB. 60-72) :

of Appeals that there was no connection between the

third party users of .the word ‘*Duteh”. and petition-
ers’ use of the word ‘Dutch’: which would stand in |

the way of .a favorable judgment and decree,.and then
as soon asthe decision of the Court of Appeals had
hecome finalized by the denial of the petition, it- stic-
cessfully obtained agreements of substantially all of
. the fifteen remaining users of the *‘ Dutch’’ expression
to stop using the word **Dutch’’,

Respondent’s monopoly of the word **Duteh” now ”

opérates to the deprivation not only of these petition--

ers, but of the entire public as well. There is no. on¢
left to dispute respondent's monopoly. One would be
foolhardy to do so at the risk of ‘sustaining the con-
tiseatory damages and attorneys’ fees which have been
imposed upon petitioners in this case,

Petitioners submit that the solidification of Fespond-

~ Jent’s umwarranted monopoly over the word ‘ Duteh™

after the denial of certiorari in this ease cries out for
reconsideration of the denial of the original eg? in
this case, just as ‘it did in Paramount Corp, v. Tri-
Ergon Corp, (1935) 294. U, S. 464, and Alteons The-
utees v. Tri-Ergon Cor ». (1935). 294 U.S. 477, wherein
the, petitions were granted (293 U.S. 528) after dertial
(293 U.S. 587) in part’ because of respondent's post

denial coercive trade activittes ( see Petitions for Re-

| hearing: No. 254, pp. 2-6; -N6. 255 and 256, pp. 2-3).

.

Moreover, in view of the fact that substantially all

users of ‘Duteh’’ have now stopped using the word
“Duteh’’, a resulting conflict of decisions is impreb-
able, just as it was in such cases as Sehriber. Co. v.

he Armstrong there was proof of secondary meaning
by: virtue of defendant’ s pleading, page 320: .

« ‘Defendant admitted ‘that the name: “Nu-

mean, throughout the Unitéd States, including the
State of Illinois and the City of Qhicago, the.

the present case there are no findings of fact either by
‘the District’ Court or, the Court of Appeals that
Dutch’ does have secondary meaning. If such find-
ings had been-made, they would have been clearly
erroneous for the reason that respondent was never

for the reason that it introduced no evidence ‘even’ «

Menendez v. Halt (1888) 128 U.S. 514 (cited by
Court. of Appeals, App. A, page 40) involves a wholly
arbitrary term ‘*La Favorita’’ used as a- brand on

_ flour. This Court upheld the validity and infringe-
_ ment of the trademark as against a former partner.
~ of the trademark proprietor. With regard to a single
_. prior public use of the. mark, : this Court said, page

521: :
“* * * such use was discontinued before Holt &

Co. appropriated the words to identify their own |

‘flour, and there was no attempt to resume it.”’

‘This should be distinguished from the’ case’ at bar
Wherein the public never discontinued to use the word 7

“Dutch” until long after respondent's adoption of

‘Dutch Boy’’ and then only under compulsion from _
respondent. At all times prior: to respondént’s adop: |

tion of “‘Dutch Boy” and. petitioner’s acquisition of
Dutch Paint and Dutch Paint Company, there have

Paint-Co., Ine., Passaic, New Jersey. Commencing in
about the year 1930 and continuing until a date sub
sequent to June. 30, 1949, this firm employed a label
bearing the trade style,‘*Dutch Paint Co.’’ and. the
word **Duteh”’ on paints manufac tured and sold by it
(Request 40(a), RA, 167 168). Exhibit 34 is a photo-
static copy of a label employ ed by this concern (RA.
169). Subsequerit to June 30, 1949, 1 respondent pro-
tested to this-user by a notice of infringement (Re- |
quest 40(¢), RA. 169). No reports of confusion were,
brought to. respendent’s attention (RA. 738-740) 7
Charles F. Kaegebehn suggested to this firm that this —
sort of thing was an infringement of our ‘Dutch’
Boy’ trademark (RA. 742); This firm said it had no -
desire to continue the label but the matter was. in
stattis quo (RA, 743-744). Mr. Kaegebehn learned of.
‘this use about the time of the inst’ ‘tution of the present
action GRA. 855-856 ). This firm had some deaiérs: in
