Unsuccessful attempt to participate in the reputation of mark PANNÓNIA

The Hungarian mark PANNÓNIA used for cheese is well-known, an opinion poll made a few years ago resulted that it is known by 77 p.c. of the Hungarian population.
This was probably the motivation of a competitor, called Tolle, to file a device mark with the word element TOLLE-PANNÓNIA, also for cheese.
Despite the opposition filed by the owner of the mark PANNÓNIA the sign was registered.
