Description

In this case, we fly by magic carpet through the exotic and esoteric realm of trademark law and the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.A. §§ 1051-1127. Armstrong Cork Company (Armstrong), plaintiff below, appeals from a District Court order enjoining Armstrong from using its proposed new corporate name, Armstrong World Industries, Inc. World Carpets, Inc. (World), defendant below, appeals from the District Court's ruling that Armstrong had not violated the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act of 1975, Ga.Code Ann. §§ 106-1201 to 1217. The main issue on appeal is whether the District Court was correct in ruling that Armstrong's use of its proposed corporate name would infringe World's rights in its registered trademarks WORLD and WORLD with a globe symbol. We conclude that the District Court's finding of trademark infringement was incorrect. The District Court's order of injunction is reversed and its ruling on the state law issue is affirmed. I.
