The court held that there was no likelihood of confusion between 'Meptin' and 'Septrin' either visually or phonetically because the marks must be compared as wholes and the first syllables are markedly different; the respondent discharged the burden of proving absence of deception and there was no improper motive, therefore registration of 'Meptin' was properly allowed and the appeal dismissed.
