TRADE MARK RULE OF U. s. COURT IS
 IMPORTANT ONE

Washington, Nov. M.-What is re- garded as one of the most important trademark cases brought before the supreme court in a decade has just been argued in that tribunal. It in- wolves among other things the ques- ton of whether a territorial limit ex- fsts on a trademark which would pre- vent, for instance, a miller from using his rivals trademark in Ohio but would not prevent him from using it in other states where the senior claim ants trademark did no business.
 Allen 6 Wheeler Company, of Troy, O., complains that the Hanover Star Milling Company, of Germantown, Ills, has infringed one of it's trademarks onfiour. The sixth United States clrz cult court of appeals held that the Ohio company trade on this brand of flour was all north of Ohio and that the Illinois corporation had built up a market for a brand under the name in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Missis- sippi, not knowing that any one used the same name.
 Under such circumstances the court held that the protection of the Ohio company's trademark did not extend to territory where it had no trade and refused to stop the Illinois company from selling the brand in the south eastern states.
