New York Court of Appeals

Jeremiah J. Colman, Respondents v. Samuel Crump, Appellant

October 2, 187770 N.Y. 573

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment granting the plaintiffs a perpetual injunction against the defendant's use of a bull's‑head symbol on mustard labels. The Court held that the plaintiffs possessed an exclusive trademark right in the bull's‑head device and that the defendant's substantially similar labels infringed that right, even though the defendant lacked fraudulent intent.
