Design applications in Hungary are examined automatically by the Office. The review process includes formal review and substantive review. The patent office will also conduct a novelty search and send the results to the applicant.
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.
