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.

Annuities

Annual maintenance fees are due on the day and month of the filing date in every year in advance. The first payment must be effected when the application is published. The amount of the annuities is relatively low in the first 3 years and increases remarkably form the 4th year.

The annuities may be paid within 3 months from the due date without fine. 50 % surcharge is due from the 4th to 6th month. If the annuity is not paid within the grace period of six months from the due date, the application becomes abandoned.

If an application has been abandoned due to non-payment of the annual maintenance fee, the applicant may file a request for restoration. This request should be filed within three months following the last day of the sixth month from the due date, and it should be accompanied by the payment of the fee with 100 % surcharge.

If the applicant is the inventor, the filing and search fee, the examination fee, the granting fee and the annuities are reduced, provided that no foreign priority has been claimed.
