Hungarian patent system

The Hungarian patent system grants exclusive rights to inventors for new inventions, protecting their innovations for up to 20 years. To obtain a patent, an application is filed with the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office, demonstrating the invention’s novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. Once granted, the patent gives the inventor control over manufacturing, using, and selling the invention in Hungary. The system also offers procedures for renewal, opposition, and enforcement of rights. Overall, it encourages innovation by ensuring inventors can benefit financially from their creations while contributing to technological development.
