This action by brought by appellant King-Seeley Thermos Co. (King-Seeley) to enjoin the defendant, Aladdin Industries, Incorporated from threatened infringement of eight trademark registrations for the word "Thermos" owned by appellant. Defendant answered, acknowledging its intention to sell its vacuuminsulated containers as "thermos bottles", asserted that the term "thermos" or "thermos bottle" is a generic term in the English language, asked that plaintiffs registrations of its trademark "Thermos" be cancelled and that it be adjudicated that plaintiff have no trademark rights in the word "thermos" on its vacuum bottles. The trial court held that plaintiffs registrations were valid but that the word "thermos" had become "a generic descriptive word in the English language * * * as a synonym for vacuum insulated container." 207 F.Supp. 9.
