Trade Marks- Use Of Same Mark On Dissimilar Goods

Michigan Law Review

The defendant began to manufacture and sell mechanic's hand soap, adopting the word "Par" as a trade-mark. Within the same year the plaintiff corporation, ignorant of the defendant's prior use of the word "Par," adopted the same trade-mark for its granulated laundry soap. Thereafter the defendant, assuming the name "Par Soap Co.," began to market a granulated laundry soap under the same trade-mark, "Par." Each party prayed for an injunction against infringement by the other. Held, the defendant acquired a common-law trade-mark as applied to mechanics' hand soap but not the right to extend it to the whole field …

Torts - Contributory Negligence - Care Required Of Automobile Drivers At Railroad Crossings

Michigan Law Review

Pokora, while driving his truck, approached the defendant's railroad at a crossing where his view was obstructed by box cars standing on a switch which ran beside the main tracks.

The trial court directed a verdict for the defendant on the ground that the plaintiff, as a matter of …

Sales - Chattel Mortgages Under The Bulk Sales Statutes

Michigan Law Review

Gessaman, who was a dealer in new and used automobiles, was indebted to the bank and other creditors.

Future Interests - When Is Child En Ventre Sa Mère Regarded As In Being Jan 1935

Future Interests - When Is Child En Ventre Sa Mère Regarded As In Being

Michigan Law Review

How far will the courts go in regarding a child en ventre sa mere as in being for the purpose of determining the character of interests in property? This question is brought to the fore in Re Joicy, a recent decision of the English Court of Appeal. In that case, a will declared that certain property should be held in trust for all of the children of the testatrix who should survive her and attain the age of twenty-one years, and provided that if any such child should die within the period of twenty-one years "leaving any issue him …

Criminal Law And Procedure-Admissibility Of Evidence-Rule As To Determination Of Preliminary Question Of Fact

Michigan Law Review

Following his arrest for murder, the defendant was held thirty-six hours before being arraigned for the purpose of obtaining a confession. On trial the defendant objected to introduction of the confession on the ground that it was involuntary, having been induced by wrongful detention and beating by the police. Held, failure, after due request, to instruct the jury that unnecessary delay in arraignment is prohibited by law and that such delay might be considered in determining whether or not the confession was voluntary was reversible error. People v. Alex, (N. Y. 1934) 192 N. E. 289.

The nine distributing companies and the pipe line company, all of which were affiliated companies within the meaning of a Kansas statute and ultimately controlled by the same holding company, secured an injunction in the three-judge federal court, and the commission appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Held, that the injunction should not have been granted. State …

The Fundamental Rights Of Man, Thomas Frank Konop

Journal Articles

This article transcribes discourse between Dean Thomas F. Konop of Notre Dame Law School and Mr. James J Boyle of the senior law class. Mr. Boyles begins by inquiring about the rights individuals have and the sources of said rights. Dean Konop delves into a discussion of the history of the law in America. He states that we derive our law from the common law of England, and we find our rights expressed in the common law and the Constitution of England; therefore, we must go to England to look for the basis of our rights. There are four main …

Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore Jan 1935

Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore

Michigan Law Review

The steps which have recently been taken, both through federal and state legislation, to regulate trade practices by outlawing what have been denominated "unfair methods of competition" have brought to the fore a problem that has vexed lawyers and legal writers for a long time. The question is whether a competitor who has been injured as a result of a rival's use of one of the condemned methods of competition can maintain any action either at law or in equity against the wrongdoer. Contrary to what has always been the practice in drafting so-called "anti-trust" laws, the legislation dealing with …


Conflict Of Laws - Federal Employers Liability Act - Jurisdiction Of State Courts Over Foreign Causes Of Action Between Nonresident Parties, H. F. B. Jan 1935

Conflict Of Laws - Federal Employers Liability Act - Jurisdiction Of State Courts Over Foreign Causes Of Action Between Nonresident Parties, H. F. B.

Michigan Law Review

The historical classification of actions for personal injuries as transitory imposes no limitation upon the prosecution of foreign suits, either by reference to the residence of the parties or the place in which the action arises. Whenever jurisdiction of the person of the defendant is obtained, the power to hear and determine this type of tort action inheres in every court having jurisdiction of the subject matter. An extreme application of the doctrine of the transitory character of personal actions is not infrequently permitted under the statutes as to venue, wherever suits between parties, all of whom are nonresidents of …


Evidence - Admissibility Of Parol Evidence Showing That Contract In Writing Was Executed Only As Sham, John E. Tracy Jan 1935

Evidence - Admissibility Of Parol Evidence Showing That Contract In Writing Was Executed Only As Sham, John E. Tracy

Michigan Law Review

An individual is sued on a written contract or, suing on an alleged oral agreement, is confronted by a written contract which he has signed. He offers testimony that, although he executed the instrument which bears his name freely and with full knowledge of its contents, he is not to be held liable thereon because the agreement between the parties was that it should never be legally enforceable, the sole purpose of its execution having been to deceive some third person into a belief that the parties to the instrument had contracted together as in the instrument set forth.


Cooperation Between The Interstate Commerce Commission And The State Commissions In Railroad Regulation, Martin L. Lindahl Jan 1935

Cooperation Between The Interstate Commerce Commission And The State Commissions In Railroad Regulation, Martin L. Lindahl

Michigan Law Review

Cooperation between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the state commissions in railroad regulation has been developed to increase the effectiveness of public control under our dual regulatory system. The division of power between federal and state governments, based upon the traditional distinction between interstate and intrastate commerce, has led to a multitude of diverse and conflicting statutes and administrative orders applicable to the same set of transportation agencies. In large measure the problem of dual control has been solved by giving to the federal government a virtually complete occupancy of the fields of rate, finance, and service regulation of interstate …


Quasi-Contracts --Torts -- Quasi-Contract As An Alternative Remedy For Interference With Contract Relations Jan 1935

Quasi-Contracts --Torts -- Quasi-Contract As An Alternative Remedy For Interference With Contract Relations

Michigan Law Review

An action in tort for damages against a defendant who has induced a third person to breach his contract with plaintiff is permitted in most states today, although the action is of comparatively recent origin. The basis of the action is the obligee's interest in the performance of the contract, which is thought to deserve protection against the third-party interference. The invasion of this right must, as the cases now stand, be an intentional invasion, although there seems to be no reason for excluding negligent invasions subject to the usual limits of foreseeability. The motives of the tort-feasor, suggested by …


Banks And Banking-Liability On Payment Of Incomplete Check Jan 1935

Banks And Banking-Liability On Payment Of Incomplete Check

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff's agent signed a check in blank, and placed it in a safe. A thief broke into the safe, removed the check and other papers, inserted "Cash'' as the payee and $486.50 as the amount, and was paid by the drawee bank. In an action against the bank for charging plaintiff's account with this item, the court held that as between the parties, because the bank was negligent in paying the check without sufficient identification, it must bear the loss. Joseph Heimberg, Inc. v. Lincoln Nat. Bank, (N. J. L. 1934) 172 Atl. 528.
