"The Defendant has itself applied for and obtained
registration of its mark, which it claims to have adopted
by telescoping letters from generic drugs. Further the
court has to be very cautious in dealing with medicinal
products. If rival deceptively similar marks are
permitted to stay in the marker in respect of
pharmaceutical products, there is likelihood of grave
injury to the public. Where greater public interest is
involved, the commercial rights of parties are to become
subservient. If there is any likelihood of confusion in the
two competing marks that have been applied to
pharmaceutical products, the deceptively similar mark
that had entered the market later in time has to go.
Prima facie the marks of the Defendant had entered
the market later in point of time than the mark of the
Plaintiffs. The marks are deceptively similar."
