The question of the classification of the radio
as a musical instrument or an electrical appli-
ance was argued Monday of this week in Part I
of the Supreme Court, when Louis Marshall,
for the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., appeared
before Supreme Court Justice Bijur to ask for
a permanent injunction restraining Harold M.
Schwab, Inc., from using the name "Brunswick"
as a trade name for their radio products.
Mr. Marshall contended that his client had
built a substantial reputation for Brunswick
phonographs, which was being drawn upon by
the Schwab Co. when it advertised Brunswick
Radio Products. This use of the name, he as-
serted, had created unfair competition in the
marketing of the "Brunswick Radiola," which
the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. assembles
fro>m parts purchased from the Radio Corpora-
tion of America.
Herbert S. Brussels, attorney for Harold M.
Schwab, Inc., told the Court that his client had
obtained a copyright on the name Brunswick
more than eighteen months before the Bruns-
wick concern had begun to market radios.
Phonographs and radios, he said, were differ-
ently classified by the Government, the former
being in Class 36 as a musical instrument, and
the latter in Class 21 as an electrical appliance.
Justice Bijur reserved decision.
