Supreme Court of India · Civil Appeal No. 1330 Of 1966

The petitioner sought rectification of the trade mark register to remove the respondent's mark 'DROPOVIT', alleging it was deceptively similar to their registered mark 'PROTOVIT'.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no reasonable probability of confusion and confirming that 'DROPOVIT' was an invented word.
