This ease dif-
fers from the case just decided, Patent Appeal No. 1856, 13 F.(2d) 319, - App. D. C. —-, in that appellee’s mark is “Fashion Club,” which the Patent Office has ruled is registerable.
For the reasons stated in the preceding opinion, we agree with the Patent Office that “Fashion Club” is not deceptively similar to appellant’s mark “Fashionknit,” and accordingly affirm the decision.
Affirmed.
