38Each of the grounds for refusal to register listed in Article 7(1) of Regulation No 40/94 is independent of the others and calls for separate examination. Furthermore, the various grounds for refusal must be interpreted in the light of the general interest underlying each of them. The general interest taken into consideration when examining each of those grounds for refusal may, or even must, reflect different considerations, according to the ground for refusal in question (see Joined Cases 0456/01 P and 0457/01 P Henkel v OHIM [2004] ECR I-5089, paragraphs 45 and 46, SAT.1 v OHIM, cited in paragraph 14 above, paragraph 25, and Case 037/03 P BioID v OHIM [2005] ECR I-7975, paragraph 59).
