What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
In some cases there is some confusion over who should be listed as the appellant and who as the respondent. This confusion is primarily the result of the presence of multiple docket numbers consolidated into a single appeal that is disposed of by a single opinion. Most frequently, this occurs when there are cross appeals and/or when one litigant sued (or was sued by) multiple litigants that were originally filed in district court as separate actions. The coding rule followed in such cases should be to go strictly by the designation provided in the title of the case. The first person listed in the title as the appellant should be coded as the appellant even if they subsequently appeared in a second docket number as the respondent and regardless of who was characterized as the appellant in the opinion.
To clarify the coding conventions, consider the following hypothetical case in which the US Justice Department sues a labor union to strike down a racially discriminatory seniority system and the corporation (siding with the position of its union) simultaneously sues the government to get an injunction to block enforcement of the relevant civil rights law. From a district court decision that consolidated the two suits and declared the seniority system illegal but refused to impose financial penalties on the union, the corporation appeals and the government and union file cross appeals from the decision in the suit brought by the government. Assume the case was listed in the Federal Reporter as follows:
United States of America,
Plaintiff, Appellant
v
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendant, Appellee.
International Brotherhood of Widget Workers,AFL-CIO
Defendants, Cross-appellants
v
United States of America.
Widgets, Inc. & Susan Kuersten Sheehan, President & Chairman
of the Board
Plaintiff, Appellants,
v
United States of America,
Defendant, Appellee.
This case should be coded as follows:Appellant = United States, Respondents = International Brotherhood of Widget Workers Widgets, Inc., Total number of appellants = 1, Number of appellants that fall into the category "the federal government, its agencies, and officials" = 1, Total number of respondents = 3, Number of respondents that fall into the category "private business and its executives" = 2, Number of respondents that fall into the category "groups and associations" = 1.
Note that if an individual is listed by name, but their appearance in the case is as a government official, then they should be counted as a government rather than as a private person. For example, in the case "Billy Jones & Alfredo Ruiz v Joe Smith" where Smith is a state prisoner who brought a civil rights suit against two of the wardens in the prison (Jones & Ruiz), the following values should be coded: number of appellants that fall into the category "natural persons" =0 and number that fall into the category "state governments, their agencies, and officials" =2. A similar logic should be applied to businesses and associations. Officers of a company or association whose role in the case is as a representative of their company or association should be coded as being a business or association rather than as a natural person. However, employees of a business or a government who are suing their employer should be coded as natural persons. Likewise, employees who are charged with criminal conduct for action that was contrary to the company policies should be considered natural persons.
If the title of a case listed a corporation by name and then listed the names of two individuals that the opinion indicated were top officers of the same corporation as the appellants, then the number of appellants should be coded as three and all three were coded as a business (with the identical detailed code). Similar logic should be applied when government officials or officers of an association were listed by name.
Your specific task is to determine the total number of appellants in the case that fall into the category "private business and its executives". If the total number cannot be determined (e.g., if the appellant is listed as "Smith, et. al." and the opinion does not specify who is included in the "et.al."), then answer 99.

Before DENISON, MACK, and MOOR-MAN, Circuit Judges.
MOORMAN, Circuit Judge.
Western Oil Refining Company is an Indiana corporation extensively engaged in selling a high grade gasoline in Ohio. Since 1917 it has used the trade-name “Silver Flash” for its gasoline. In 1923 Frank Jones, operating under the name of Ohio Valley Oil Company, began selling gasoline at Wellsville and East Liverpool, Ohio, under the same trade-name. Upon notice of infringement given him by the refining company he abandoned the name in October, 1924, and adopted the name “Super-Flash.” Believing that this name was also an infringement, the refining company brought this suit to enjoin Jones from using it. At the hearing, upon full proofs, the court below held that there was no infringement and dismissed the bill. From that order the refining company appeals.
The name “Silver Flash,” as used by appellant, is, in our opinion, a registrable trade-name. Appellee does not contend that it is not or that appellant has not established the right to its exclusive use in certain sections of the country, but contends that it has not established that right in and around Wellsville and East Liverpool, where the alleged infringement occurred. The argument in support of this point is based upon the principle of territorial limitations recognized in Hanover Milling Co. v. Metcalf, 240 U. S. 403, 36 S. Ct. 357, 60 L. Ed. 713, and Rectanus Co. v. United States Drug Co. (6 C. C. A.) 226 F. 545. But see 248 U. S. 90, 39 S. Ct. 48, 63 L. Ed. 141. Those limitations, in our opinion, do not exclude territory which may be reasonably expected to be within the normal expansions of the business. Such expansions as to a trade-name for gasoline, in view of modem transportation methods and the fact that many purchasers are travelers from a distance, would ordinarily embrace at least the entire state, in which there had been a widespread advertisement and use of the name in the major part of the state. There had been such use by appellant of its name, and although it had not sold gasoline in either of the places where appellee was engaged in business, it is entitled, we think, under the principle stated, to the exclusive use of the name in both of those places.
Upon the question of infringement, the test, as frequently announced by this court, is whether the alleged infringing trade-mark or label, taken as a whole, so far resembles the other mark or label as to be likely to be mistaken for it by the casual or unwary purchaser. Ohio Baking Co. v. National Biscuit Co. (6 C. C. A.) 127 F. 116; Gaines & Co. v. Turner-Looker Co. (6 C. C. A.) 204 F. 553; De Voe Snuff Co. v. Wolff (6 C. C. A.) 206 F. 420; Garrett & Co. v. Wine Co. (D. C.) 256 F. 943. This question is obviously one that must be determined from impressions gained from the evidence and from an examination of the alleged infringed and infringing trade-marks.
From our inspection of the trade-names here used, we do not observe that there is so marked a resemblance between them when written as when spoken; and we do not see that the environment in which appellee has placed his name has increased the resemblance. Appellant’s name consists of two words, each of which begins with a capital. They are in script form, and are diagonally disposed. Shooting aeross these words is a single jagged line, apparently intended to represent flashes of lightning. Appellee’s name consists of the hyphenated words “Super-Flash.” The words are in block type, and are written in a horizontal plane. The first letter “S” and the last letter “H” of the combined words are double the size of the other letters, being on the same plane at the top with the other letters, but projecting beneath the plane of those letters at the bottom a sufficient distance to permit the writing of the word “gasoline” between the under projections of the two. There are numerous small jagged lines, doubtless intended to represent lightning flashes, disposed over the face of the words.
We do not go into the evidence as to the circumstances under which appellee selected his present trade-mark after abandoning the words “Silver Flash” upon appellant’s demand. The word “Flash” is extensively used as a part of a trade-mark for gas or gasoline, although its numerous uses seem to have been registered subsequently to appellant’s registration. It would seem to be regarded in the trade as descriptive, and standing alone, we would attach no importance to its adoption by appellee. But his selection of the word “Super” from an “exhaustless' variety” of words, to be used with the word “Flash,” when considered in connection with his admitted desire to preserve the good will that he had built up under the name that he had first used but had been compelled to abandon, is evidence, we think, that he not only intended that the public should, but that it is likely that it will, confuse the two names.
When we come to consider the use of the name as spoken, we have no difficulty in holding that there’ was infringement, whatever doubt there may be as to the effect of its more limited use on signs and placards. From the nature of appellee’s business its trade-name will be frequently spoken; and although a casual observer might not mistake it for appellant’s name when it is written or posted upon placards, he would quite likely, we think, mistake the one for the other when the words are spoken. For example, if one were told that “Super-Flash” was sold at one of appellee’s stations, he might easily understand it to be “Silver Flash.” There was some suggestion in the evidence of such intended deception; but we pass that question by and place our decision on other evidentiary disclosures and on an inspection of the two names.
It results that the decree must be reversed, and the cause remanded, with direction to the lower court to issue an injunction enjoining appellee from using the name “Super-Flash,” or from otherwise infringing on appellant’s trade-name.
