OF the use OF trademark is intention
OF the abandonment OF the riqht to
the Trademark. Property in trade,
marx cannot be acquired or retained
independently of the article which it
symoolizes. 1t differs from a copy

these may retain them, though he

pressed by the Court in Can

& Co. "a Ill. 457, sit is the actual use
of the trademark affixed to the mer-
chandise of the manufacturer and this
alone which can impart to it the ele

in Atlantic Milling Co. v. Robinson
ct al. 20 Fed. R. 21S, says, "The right
to the exclusive use of word or sym
Dol as a trade mark is inseparable
from the right to make and sell the
com modify which it has been appro-
prlated to designate as the production
or article of the proprietor. 1t may
be abandoned if the business of the
proprietor is abandoned"
The bill in our opinion shows
deliberate abandonment of the publ
cation OF the. old Independent" and
the use of that name as a trade-m mark
but with the intention to retain the
ownership of the mark itself. This,
as we have seen, is impossible.
The authorities do not consider
mere suspension of the manufactured
of an article without evidence OF an
intention to abandon as sufficient to
destroy the right. Crowley V. Light

a well-stocked trout brook running
through his place, has tried for sew

tear down the notices and fishermen
from city and country would fish in his
trout brook to their satisfaction. He

and very vicious, and turned him into

runs. When any venturesome fisher
man enters the lot the bull with his tail
waving in the air and his head low TO
