New York Court of Appeals

John P. Hier, Appellants v. Abraham Abrahams, Respondents

November 16, 188082 N.Y. 519

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's injunction against the defendants for using the word "Pride" as a trademark on cigars. The court held that a word trademark is protectable regardless of label design and that an injunction may be granted without showing intent to defraud or a prior legal right at law.
