Foreign relations
We have an ever-growing list of domestic and foreign clients, including major European and overseas companies. Many of our Western clients have chosen us as regional agent to handle their intellectual property cases in a number of Central and Eastern European countries. In recognition of the growing need to take an international approach to intellectual property matters, our attorneys participate in the work of various international intellectual property organizations as well as attend international conferences and conventions to establish personal contact with clients and associates.
Our practice before the European Patent Office goes back to the establishment of the EPO, however the direct services could only be started in 2003, after Hungary had joined the EPC. Since that date, our office is the main represantitive office for Hungarian clients and we have numerous foreign clients using our services as their representative beore the European Patent Office and before OHIM. Our partners are also actively participating in the work of different committees and the Council of the epi (the official organization of the European patent attorneys). Our services outside the direct domestic and European representation are provided through using well trained and tested foreign associates all over the world. A number of domestic and foreign clients use us as their main hub for managing their worldwide IP portfolio.
