Description
These cross-appeals arise out of a dispute between Keebler Company, a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business in Illinois, and Rovira Biscuit Corporation, a Puerto Rico corporation, over Rovira's use of the name ""Export Sodas"" to identify the soda crackers it sells in competition with Keebler. Background of the Case Sometime between the beginning of this century and the First World War, various companies in the United States began exporting a type of flat, square soda cracker to Puerto Rico. During the 1920's, at least one of these companies, National Biscuit, identified its product with a label bearing the term ""Export Sodas"". During this period, a Puerto Rican bakery was also manufacturing this type of cracker and advertising it under the name ""Sport Sodas"". Around 1929, one Mr. Rovira, father of the current chairman of the board of Rovira Biscuit, began manufacturing and selling soda crackers in Puerto Rico in a package with a label imitating a Catalonian coat-of-arms. On top of the container was a sticker containing the words ""export sodas"". Rovira continued to use this labeling until 1947 or 1948.
