Thermos To Appea! Ruling
The American Thermos Products Company, Norwich, Conn.,
will appeal the recent ruling of the United States District Court
on its suit against Aladdin Industries, Inc., of Chicago.
The suit was brought by The American Thermos Products
Company against Aladdin Industries, Inc., in 1958 on the threat
by Aladdin to use the word “thermos” in a descriptive or generic
sense as a synonym for vacuum bottles or other insulated con
tainers. The suit was heard in the early part of this year at
New Haven by Judge Robert P. Anderson.
1962, by Judge Anderson up
held the validity of the eight
registrations of the trademark
“Thermos” owned by The
American Thermos Products
Company and covering a wide
variety of goods. However, it \
also ruled that the word “ther- i
mos” had .become a generic j
term in the United
States and permit
ted the defendant,
Aladdin Indus
tries, Inc., to use
the word only un
der certain definite
restrictions. These
included the use
of the word only
in lower case type
with letters all of
equal size, and
required the de
fendant to precede
use of the word
by “Aladdin’s” or
one of its trade
marks, and to use the word
in no larger size type than this
name or trademark.
The Court found that a fairly
substantial minority of the
public knows, recognizes, uses
and relies on the plaintiff’s
trademark “Thermos” as a
trademark, but felt that the
rights of this portion of the
public could be protected and
confusion avoided if the de
fendant’s use of the word fol
lowed the Court’s limitations.
Since The American Thermos
Products Company will exer
cise its right to appeal within
the required 30-day period, the
matter is not concluded until
it is reviewed by higher courts.
It is expected that all con
cerned will continue to respect
"Thermos” as a trademark and
avoid its use as a generic or
descriptive term, pending final
decision by the Couris on ap
peal.
When the company intro
duced the "Thermos” vacuum
bottle in 1907,* it added much
to the American scene. Over
the years, The American Ther
mos Products Company ex
panded its line and the well
known Thermos trademark be
gan to appear on outing kits,
school and workmen’s lunch
kits, picnic jugs and ice chests
as well as vacuumware. Diver
sification took a giant step in
December, 1960, when the com
pany merged with the King
Seeley Corporation to form
King-Seeley Thermos Co. As a
result, now the famous brand
name is carried on a full line
of camping gear including
tents, shelters, camp stoves and
camp lanterns.

Labor Dept.
Employs Robot
Press Agent
WASHINGTON (.1* — One of the
Labor Department’s biggest head
aches is machines taking over the
iobs of men.
It has shown its concern — with
funds and training programs — for
fhe flesh-and-blood workers el
bowed out of the way by robot
contrivances that clink and clank
in mills and mines, offices and
fields.
Now, suddenly, the department
seems to have cast its lot with
the robots. It has installed one as
a press agent.
By so doing it has put automa
tion in the field of public relations,
which legend holds is a crisis
rid d e n, high-pressure breeding
ground for ulcers and migraine
headaches.
Perhaps the Labor Department
feels it will serve the robot right.
Whatever the motive, when a re
porter now dials the department
to learn what’s new on the labor
field he gets a crisp, no-nonsense
fill-in in from a recorded voice.
If you ring now, for instance,
you will be told that a meeting on
a labor dispute will held on Mon
day, that Secretary of Labor
Arthur Goldberg will make a dedi
cation speech Monday night and
that there’s a press release for
Tuesday morning papers urging
teenagers to return to school.
The department admitted some
misgivings about the venture. In
a memorandum to Washington
editors and reporters, it carefully
labeled the innovation and experi
ment.
The voice on the first record
ing belongs to Miss Bess Fried
man, an attractive and apparently
cautious young lady who isn’t
staying around to see how the
robot works out. She got away on
vacation.
