Utility models

Utility model protection in Hungary is available for technical solutions related to the configuration or construction of an article or the arrangement of parts thereof. Furthermore, an equipment and a system consisting of several interconnected devices shall be considered also a utility model.

Although a utility model application is not examined for novelty and inventive steps, other requirements are examined, e.g. whether the subject of the application is a utility model, the consistency of the description, claims and drawings etc. Therefore the drafting of a utility model application shall be carried out carefully, as granting a utility model protection is not automatic in Hungary.
