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.

Syllabus
A stockholder, even though also an officer, of a corporation bearing his family name does not necessarily lose his right to carry on the business of manufacturing the same commodity under his own name because that corporation sold its goodwill, tradename, etc., and as a stockholder and officer he participated in the sale. He is not entitled, however, to use, and may be enjoined by the purchaser from using, any name, mark or advertisement indicating that he is the successor of the original corporation or that his goods are the product of that corporation or of its successor, nor can he interfere in any manner with the goodwill so purchased.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
