Schools, public or private organizations can win up to 35 million HUF with an awareness-raising competition announced by the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which can be applied for until June 8, the National Intellectual Property Office (SZTNH) said in a statement on Friday.

The aim of the tender is to draw attention not only to the importance of intellectual property, but also to the damage caused by counterfeiting. The application, with a total value of 1 million euros (more than 350 million HUF), is mainly aimed at the younger age group, thus mainly those aged 15 to 24, as well as current or future teachers and scientific experts. In the long run, EUIPO wants to make the younger generation more aware of their purchases and reduce the popularity of counterfeiting and piracy. (MTI)
