Opposition
The proceeding of trademark registration has changed since May 1, 2004. Implementing the international practice, Hungary has switched to an opposition system. The Hungarian Patent Office (HPO) indicates earlier identical or similar trademarks in its search report. The pure existence of these marks, however do not establish a ground for refusal, unless the owner of the earlier right is submitting observation within three months after publication. In these cases the proceeding of the Office moves on with both parties involved and there is a chance of settlement.
How would the owner of the earlier trademark know that he should stand up for his rights when he is engaged with market? Through our watching service. It is worth to order it therefore.
We offer extended trademark watch, regularly reviewing the HPO files and applications, the Hungarian company register and domains, the European CTM register, trademarks filed according to Madrid Agreement and Protocol and the entire web for any form of illegal use of the presented mark. For more details please click on Watching service in the menu.
