The court granted the review, permitting the registration of the social name 'Portugalia-Companhia Portuguesa de Transportes Aereos' despite a prior registration of 'Portugalia-Administração de Patrimonios, SA'. The parties argued that the names were distinct enough to coexist, and the opposing side did not contest the lack of necessity for citing the existing registrant. The Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the names do not confuse the public, thereby validating the registration without requiring formal citation of the previous holder.

SUMÁRIO

I - A denominação social "Portugalia-Companhia Portuguesa de Transportes Aereos" não se confunde com a de "Portugalia- -Administração de Patrimonios, SA", pelo que e licito o seu registo apesar de a segunda se achar anteriormente registada.

II - No recurso interposto do despacho do Director Geral do Registo Nacional de Pessoas Colectivas que admitiu o registo não e necessaria a citação da titular do mesmo registo.
