`
`

`
`opposer's exclusive right to use same.

`On information and belief, applicant adopted the mark QUACKERS with knowledge
`
`of opposer’s QUAKER marks and products.
`
`
`
`9.
`
`Applicant’s use of the mark sought to be registered for the goods listed in its
`
`application is likely to cause confusion, deception or mistake as to the source, sponsorship or
`
`approval of applicant’s aforesaid goods in that purchasers and others are likely mistakenly to believe
`
`that applicant’s goods are opposer’s goods or are in some way legitimately connected with opposer
`
`or its goods.
`
`WHEREFORE, registration by applicant of the aforesaid trademark for the aforesaid goods
`
`4
`
`
`
`

`
`additional fees to Account No. 19-2552.
