Controversy

In November 2015, Grand River Enterprises Germany and Philip Morris had a dispute over the name of the Mark Adams No. 1 brand and the Mark 10 brand in Romania. Philip Morris accused GRE Germany that their Mark Adams brand caused confusion with their own Mark 10 brand. The Romanian Trademark Office (TMO) communicated to both parties in March 2016 that there was no likelihood of confusion between either brands, however. [10]
