DECISION
PER CURIAM.

1
Resolve Through Sharing ("RTS") appeals the decision of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ("Board"), Cancellation No. 16,609 (Sept. 11, 1990), granting Resolve, Inc.'s petition for cancellation of RTS's registration for the marks RESOLVE THROUGH SHARING and RESOLVE THROUGH SHARING with design.1   The Board, in a thorough analysis, based its decision on the ground that RTS's registered marks, when applied to the goods and services set forth in RTS's registration, were likely to cause confusion with products and services covered by Resolve's earlier registered mark.2   Resolve, Inc. v. Resolve Through Sharing, Cancellation No. 16,609 (Sept. 11, 1990), slip op. at 9.  On appeal, this court reviews a determination by the Board on likelihood of confusion for legal error.  Specialty Brands, Inc. v. Coffee Bean Distribs., Inc., 748 F.2d 669, 671, 223 USPQ 1281, 1282 (Fed.Cir.1984).  Having found none, we affirm for the reasons relied on by the Board in its opinion.
