Trademark Registration in Hungary
A symbol, a distinctive mark, words or a combination thereof may be registered as a trademark in Hungary pursuant to Act IX. of 1969 on Trademarks.
The application has to be filed with the Hungarian Patent Office ("HPO" Magyar Szabadalmi Hivatal). The HPO has the authority to examine trademark applications, register trademarks, renew the period of trademark protection, cancel the protection of trademarks, decide in negative averment proceedings and any other procedures related to trademarks which do not fall in the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Court of Budapest.
A private or legal person having its residence or registered seat in Hungary may file an application on its own to get a trademark registered in Hungary. A foreign company may, however, only file its application by its attorney or patent attorney.
