Atlas Assur. Co. v. Atlas Ins. Co.
| Decision Date | 24 January 1908 |
| Citation | 138 Iowa 228,114 N.W. 609 |
| Parties | ATLAS ASSUR. CO., LIMITED, v. ATLAS INS. CO. |
| Court | Iowa Supreme Court |
Supplemental opinion. For former opinion, see 112 N. W. 232.
The trial court entered a decree enjoining the defendant from “using the word or device ‘Atlas' in its present form,” and the plaintiff objected to the form of the decree. In the original opinion filed herein we held, briefly, that the prayer of the petition should have been granted without limitation. The opinion, however, is based on the ground that the appellant cannot use the word or device in a way that is calculated to deceive those who seek insurance, and the entire argument of the opinion is along that line. We did not intend to hold that the word or device cannot be used when it appears that the use made of it can in no way deceive or mislead. The use thereof in such manner as to clearly and unmistakably show that the defendant is an insurance company entirely separate and distinct from the plaintiff cannot possibly prejudice the latter in any way, and there can be no legal objection to such use.
The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed, without modification.
Affirmed.
