Appellee secured registration of the , mark “Fig-Nuts” under the provisions of the Trade-Mark Act of March 19, 1920 (41 Stat. 533 [Comp. St. Ann.

In U. S. Compression Inner Tube Co. v. Climax Rubber Co., 53 App. D. C. 370, 290 Fed. 345, we ruled that the act in question contains no provision for appeal to this court, and hence that we are without jurisdiction to consider one.
