You can register trademark either for Hungary\nor for the European Union. In either case, the procedure is quite lengthy, as\nit takes 8-12 months. In Hungary the responsible authority is the Hungarian\nIntellectual Property Office (Szellemi Tulajdon Nemzeti Hivatala, SzTNH), while\nin the EU it is the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process can be started by a lawyer\nexpert in trademark registration. They will supervise the procedure as your\nmain point of contact, acting as an intermediary between you and the\nauthorities. For this, you need to give your authorization to your lawyer,\nsigning a POA either in person or attested at any Hungarian consulate in your\ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you need to decide what you want protected in the trademark registration. You can simply submit your company name or your slogan. If you want to submit your logo, you have to attach a color picture of it (in PDF format, size between 5×5 and 10×12 cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trademarks are classified based on whether\nthey refer to goods or services. There are 45 categories altogether, and you\nhave to decide in which you want to submit your application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
E.g. You are selling IT consultation. You\nhave designed a nice logo for your company. However, there are only so many\nways to design a logo, and it is similar to the logo of another trademarked\nbrand. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before submitting your application, you should consult your lawyer on which category you should submit your application in, and your lawyer will make a preliminary check to see if there are any other companies that have the same name, logo, or slogan. If they find a match, you will have to reconsider your application or make a new design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your application is submitted, the\nauthorities check various factors to see if it is fit for trademark\nregistration. This will take at least 2-3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If all is fine at this point, you get a\nreport that also contains reference to any already registered trademark similar\nto your application. You can decide whether you want to go forward with the\nprocedure, or, in case there is a trademark that is too similar to your\napplication, withdraw it to avoid legal disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you proceed with the application,\nauthorities publish your submission in the official gazette for proposed\ntrademarks. This gives other trademark owners a chance to file an appeal\nagainst your trademark application e.g. if they think it is too similar to\ntheir existing trademark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If no one objects to your trademark\napplication in 3 months, it will be registered. This is done retroactively,\nwith the day of submission as a starting date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our experienced team can assist you with\nall aspects of setting up and operating a company in Hungary.
