Dispute over name
[edit]In some markets, Panasonic has accused Pensonic of being a knockoff of former's through the similar brand name and affecting their market share, leading to lawsuits. Pensonic says that its the name was created by combining Penang and Sonic to mean the "sound of Penang".[1]
In 2008, Panasonic won an injunction against Pensonic on Singapore.[2] In Sri Lanka, Pensonic successfully won a judgement to register its trademark in January 2009 against opposition by Panasonic. The judgment observed that Pensonic was previously registered in Malaysia, Japan, and many other countries without the objection of Panasonic.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
