Dispute Summary
Mount Mettur Pharmaceuticals Ltd. applied for registration of its trade mark 'Utogynol', which was opposed by Ortho Pharmaceuticals Corporation due to perceived similarity with their registered trade mark 'Ortho-Gynol'. The court examined the look and sound of both names, finding that despite sharing the common element 'Gynol', the initial syllables ('Uto' vs. 'Ortho') were strikingly dissimilar.
