General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Postum Cereal Co. v. California Fig Nut Company No. 22 Submitted November 9, 1926 Decided January 3, 1927 272 U.S. 693
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
1. A proceeding in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia under § 9 of the Trade-Mark Act of 1905 to review a decision of the Commissioner of Patents refusing to cancel the registration of a trademark, is an administrative matter, and not a "case" within the meaning of Art. III of the Constitution. P. 698.
2. This Court therefore has no constitutional power to review the decision of the Court of Appeals in such a proceeding -- not even when that court dismisses the appeal from the Commissioner for want of jurisdiction under the Trade-Mark Act. P. 699.
Appeal from 53 App.D.C. 320, 290 Fed. 340, dismissed.
