Coca Cola Co. v. The Koke Co. of America case Ans✓✓✓ - Stands for
the idea that an invented name or word can take on secondary meaning a
specific product.
- The Coca-Cola Company sought to prevent the Koke Company of
America and other beverage companies from, among other things, using
the word Koke for their products. The Koke Company of America and
other beverage companies contended that the Coca-Cola trademark was
a fraudulent representation and that Coca-Cola was therefore not entitled
to any help from the courts. The Koke Company and the other
defendants alleged that the Coca-Cola Company, by its use of the Coca-
Cola name, represented that the beverage contained cocaine (from coca
leaves), which it no longer did. The trial court granted the injunction
against the Koke Company, but the appellate court reversed the lower
court's ruling. Coca-Cola then appealed to the United States Supreme
Court.

such as the nickname "Coke" for "Coca-Cola") that are in common use
receive protection under the common law.
