Description
BOYLES, J. Plaintiffs filed a bill of complaint in the circuit court for the county of Wayne in chancery to enjoin the defendants from using the word ""Federal"" in their assumed business name or in connection with their business. After hearing the proofs, the circuit Judge dismissed the bill of complaint and plaintiffs appeal. The plaintiff Federal Engineering Company, Inc., is a Michigan corporation organized in 1919, and since continuously engaged in business in Detroit. It is a so-called family corporation, owned by the LeVine family whose members constitute its stock-holders, directors and officers. Federal Engineering Company, a copartnership, is also a party plaintiff, the LeVine family having filed in 1940 a certificate of copartnership using the same name, Federal Engineering Company. Since this copartnership was organized in 1940 the sale of plaintiffs' tool and die products has been carried on by the copartnership. While the corporation continued to manufacture, it leased its machinery to the copartnership in 1940 on a rental basis. This was explained by its vice-president as being mainly ""for various tax purposes."" The defendants are two individuals who filed in 1943 a certificate of copartnership under the name Federal Tool & Die Company.
