For the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office, 2025 confirmed the growing significance of intellectual property protection within Hungary’s innovation ecosystem, as stakeholders increasingly recognize the value of intellectual assets and make more conscious and strategic use of the mechanisms available for their protection and exploitation.
The medium-term institutional strategy, adopted in 2025, reaffirmed the Office’s mission: to contribute to enhancing domestic innovation and competitiveness through strengthening the protection of intellectual property. The strategy identifies customer-centric development of services, further improving digitalisation, and strengthening of international presence as key objectives. In addition, it places emphasis on active cooperation with the stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem, particularly with universities, research institutes, and enterprises, as well as on the development of awareness-raising activities.
Important achievement of 2025 was the enhancement of international presence. The Office’s experts played an active role in European and global working groups and also contributed to shaping international policy dialogue through earning several leadership positions in such groups. International cooperation not only enhances the recognition of the Hungarian intellectual property protection system but also creates opportunities for domestic experience to be incorporated into international practice and for best practices to be introduced in Hungary.
Digital competencies and IT developments also played a decisive role in the Office’s operations. In 2025, electronic administration expanded further, with a significant proportion of submissions already being received online, enabling more efficient and customer-friendly operations. An important milestone in digitalisation, communication, and customer information was the launch of the Office’s new website, renewed both in content and appearance, providing a structured and modern platform for customers and other parties interested. In addition, new webform-based filing system, data warehouse-based reporting solution, and modern data management developments also supported efficient operations.
It gives added significance to the period under review that in 2026 HIPO celebrates the 130th anniversary of its establishment, and preparations for this event constituted a defining element of the Office’s activities in 2025.
The heightened interest in design protection indicates that product appearance and design are playing an increasingly important role in economic competition.

Back Office project The implementation of the Back Office (BO) project, which was launched to replace the current unified internal case management and registration system (ENYV) supporting the Office's official activities, progressed at a steady pace, but its planning was updated several times in 2025 due to the need for new functionalities for the complex system, as well as the longer than planned development time and a temporary shortage of developer capacity. User testing after development work took place in several areas during the year, even in several rounds. In view of the additional development and testing tasks, according to the timetable approved by the BO project’s joint steering committee with EUIPO, the target date for the live start is 2027.
