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.
