MAIZELS v. KOZER

Oregon Supreme Court.
Jun 4, 1929

REVERSED.

PER CURIAM.

This case arose in a controversy between two merchants over a trademark. The Hon. Sam A. Kozer, then Secretary of State, directed a cancellation of plaintiff's trademark because, in his opinion, it was an infringement of a trademark to which A. Volchok, the other merchant, was entitled. Plaintiff sued out a writ of review. The writ was not served on the opposing party to the proceeding before the Secretary of State, to wit: A. Volchok. For this reason the Circuit Court was without jurisdiction to entertain the case: Or. L., ยง 609; Williams v. Henry, 70 Or. 466, 468 ( 142 P. 337).

The judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed and proceedings dismissed.

REVERSED AND DISMISSED.
