Dispute Summary
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 case also involved determining if 'DROPOVIT' was a descriptive or invented word. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no reasonable probability of confusion and confirming that 'DROPOVIT' was an invented word.
