Patent Office Decision in Favor o
tfVjxo"


A decision of far reaching impor-
tance has just been handed down by
the United States patent office in the
case of Anheuser-Busch Brewing as
ISOLATION VS.. Fred Miller Brewing
company.
In February, 1917, Fred Miller
Brewing company of Milwaukee,
Wis, applied to the United States
patent office for the registration of
its trade mark "Vivo" for a nonin-
toxicating cereal beverage manufact-
ured by it and sold as soft drink.
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing as
ISOLATION of st. Louis, Mo. opposed
the application on the ground that
the trade mark 'vivo" was an inter
ference with their trade mark "Bevo"
used in connection with the similar
beverage The Fred Miller Brewing
company proved to the satisfaction
of the United States patent office
that it had used the said trade mark
since the year 1905, while the An
heuser-Busch Brewing association
did not commence the use of it's trade
mark "Bevo'' until the year 1908, and
the United States patent office has
now decided that in view of the prior
use of the Fred Miller Brewing COM
pany of its trade mark 'Vivo," it is
entitled to the registration of same,
and the opposition of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association has been
dismissed.
