Not according to the Judgment.
On 11 April 2017, Supermac filed an application for revocation with EUIPO in respect of the EU trade mark in respect of the word sign BIG MAC.
- lexicality 2y agoFrom the article: > The dispute erupted when Supermac’s applied to register its company name in the EU as it drew up expansion plans. McDonald’s objected, saying consumers would be confused because it already trademarked the Big Mac name. > Supermac’s filed a 2017 request with the EU’s Intellectual Property Office to revoke McDonald’s Big Mac trademark registration, saying the U.S. company couldn’t prove that it had used the name for certain categories that aren’t specifically related to the burger over five years.

Articles often get specialized knowledge like law wrong, but maybe someone can link to McDonald’s objection to a Supermac trademark application to validate the article.
