RIGHTS TO WORD “PROGRESS”
Some time ago it was announced in the SENTINEL that a suit had been entered in the
U.S. patent office by a Peoria, Ill., wholesle firm against L. M. Brackett & Co., of this city to
compel them to refrain from using the word “Progress” on their goods.
The local firm at once took up the matter and found to their entire satisfacton that their
title was clear from the time when J. P. Michael owned the establishment.
They immediately notified the patent office of their rights and the Peoria firm was
notified that they should produce their evidence of a right to use the word in question. However
this they have failed to do and have ignored the request of the office, which leaves a clear field for
Brackett & Co.
