IN RE: DETROIT ATHLETIC CO.
- Sep 24 2018 |
- Category: CAFC Updates
Detroit Athletic Co. (“DACo”) appeals from a decision of the TTAB affirming the PTO’s refusal to register DETROIT ATHLETIC CO. for sports apparel retail services. In that decision, the Board concluded that DACo’s mark is likely to be confused with the third-party mark DETROIT ATHLETIC CLUB, registered for clothing goods. Because the CAFC finds that the Board’s conclusion is predicated on factual findings supported by substantial evidence and that the Board did not err in balancing the relevant DuPont factors, the CAFC affirms.
