The patent grant procedure is divided into two separate stages:
- The first stage is the formality examination stage, from the filing of the patent application to the publication of the patent application.
- The second stage is the substantive examination stage after publication. If the application meets the formal requirements, the Hungarian Patent Office will manage the filing date and perform a novelty search. The request for substantive examination can be made at the time of filing the application or at the latest within 6 months from the date of publication of the search report in the Official Gazette.
