Search the HIPO register

E-register (IP Search) is Hungarian Intellectual Property Office's own search tool.

Tool: E-register (IP Search)
Search by: trademark name, identifier (application or registration number), owner or applicant, other parties, Nice class, Vienna class, filing, publication, grant and renewal dates
Languages: English, Hungarian
Free: Yes
Account required: No
Limits: HIPO states that the database shows the current state of each right and is updated monthly, and that it takes no legal responsibility for errors in it.

How to search

Open IP Search; the Simple search searches all Hungarian patents, utility models, designs and trademarks at once by identifier, title or mark name, names or dates.
For trademarks only, choose Advanced search > Trademarks and pick national marks, Madrid marks or both.
Fill in any of the fields (identifier, dates, Nice classification, Vienna classification, trademark name, owners or applicants, other parties) and combine them with AND, OR or AND NOT.
Use Advanced search > European Union trademarks to search EU marks in the same tool.

Good to know

Foreign applicants from outside the EEA must appoint a representative in matters before the Office; domestic applicants need not.
An application may be filed in a foreign language, but the list of goods or services must be filed in Hungarian within 2 months of the filing date.
On request, a particularly accelerated procedure registers the mark at the same time as the application is published; the registration becomes final only after the opposition period has expired.

International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

Hungary is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1997-10-03, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.

EU trade mark (EUIPO): An EU trade mark gives its owner an exclusive right in all current and future EU Member States, including Hungary.
