The novelty grace period in Hungary is 6 months before the filing date if disclosure occurs:
- due to abuse of the rights of the applicant or his predecessors;
- because the applicant or the predecessor of the right holder has exhibited the invention at an exhibition duly recognized by the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office.Utility models in Hungary are subject to formal and substantive examinations, but not novelty and inventive steps.
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.
