Almost 31,000 industrial property rights applications are related to the largest Hungarian companies, but 97 percent of them are related to only 5 companies, according to a recent study by the National Office of Intellectual Property (SZTNH). The economic interest of these companies can be demonstrated in 114 countries. Chemical companies, including pharmaceutical companies, are the most active in industrial property rights, the agency said in a statement released Thursday.

The majority of Hungarian patents are tied to five companies

A total of 8,800 applications have been filed by companies to identify the origin of their products and services, while only 37 have applied for design protection. (MTI)
