Danubia is closed from 27th December 2022 to 30th December 2022. During this period we function in home-office on-call duty. Please contact us by this central email address (central@danubia.hu).
The Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO) will be closed from 22nd December 2022 to 8th January 2023. HIPO will reopen on 9th January 2023. The deadlines falling into the closure period will be extended in line with the length of the closure.
International trademarks and trademark applications, PCT procedures form an exception, since WIPO deadlines will not be extended. If you have any international trade mark cases to deal with during the closure, please take into consideration that the deadline for Danubia to submit such request at the HIPO is 16th December 2022.
However, during HIPO’s closure one must act in the cases of filing validations, renewals, payment of annuities, starting national phase of PCT applications since the period of the administrative closure does not count towards the time limit for the administration of authority proceedings before the HIPO, including the time limit for the forwarding of applications for review to the courts.
