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.

Declaration of non-infringement

If during the use or intended use of a product or a method, the user wishes to know whether such use infringes a particular patent, he can file a request for negative statement (i.e. declaration on non-infringement). Such a request cannot be filed if an infringement suit has already been started.

A negative statement declared under this rule excludes the possibility of starting an infringement suit on the same matter.

Characteristic to this institution is that the prosecution is carried in the first instance by the Office and not by the Court as in the case of an infringement suit.
