Trademarks such as words or figurative marks are an essential part of the “identity” of goods and services. They help deliver brand recognition, in logos for example, and play an important role in marketing and communication. It is possible to register a variety of trademarks including words, other graphical representations, and even sounds. Right owners have a choice of obtaining protection on a country-by-country basis, or using international systems. Send us the word/slogan/device or other type of mark you already use in your business or plan to start using in the future. Send us a description of your goods/services so that we can determine the classes of goods the trademark should be registered in. Let us know the broadest geographic area where your company intends to run its business. With a Community trademark (CTM) you can obtain exclusive rights to use the trademark in all Member States of the European Union.

Data Privacy Law in Hungary

The protection of data and the freedom of information in Hungary is the responsibility of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Ombudsman). Act LXIII of 1992, provides for the protection and dissemination of personal information contained in Hungarian registries. Additionally, Hungary introduced numerous laws regulating the handling of information such as addresses (Act LXVI of 1992), universal identifiers (Act XX of 1996), medical information (Act XLVII of 1997), police information (Act XXXIV of 1994), public records (Act LXVI of 1995), employment records (Act IV of 1991), telecommunications (Act LXXII of 1992) and national security services (Act CXXV of 1995) (PI 2000).

According to law, the state may only collect unique personal information for statistical purposes and cannot transfer, publish or make it available to third parties except with subject's written consent. Police may request information without consent, however, when that data is within the “scope and duration suitable and strictly necessary” for a criminal procedure.

The Hungarian Data Protection Commissioner is independent from the government, other state organisations and the private sector; he cannot accept orders from them. His competency covers both state and private sectors, and he is responsible for reporting his activity to the Parliament only. The Data Protection Commissioner is not a conventional authority and neither is a court, he usually issues recommendations. Publicity is his main means.
