What We Do

Strategic Consulting

We advise on developing appropriate structures for collaborating with and employing local inventors, and on questions which may arise with respect to their remuneration

Prosecuting and Maintaining European- and Hungarian Patent Rights

We maintain efficient and high-standard professional relations with the examiners and adminstrative staff of the patent office, from the application being filed to protection being granted, where we enjoy a high acceptance rate.

Validating European Patents in Hungary

Our dedicated and highly experienced team of patent attorneys, uniquely qualified across all fields of science and technology, will prepare the necessary translation of the patent claims to the most exacting standards.

Enforcement

We play to one of our firm’s greatest strengths during court proceedings by creating a team of 2-4 specialists, incorporating the dedicated and talented legal practitioners of Danubia Legal.

Novelty and Freedom to Operate (FTO) Searches

Danubia subscribes to the major international databases, and our specialist patent attorneys all have extensive experience in conducting searches and preparing due diligence reports targeted to specified aims.

Prosecuting Trademarks and Designs in the EU

Our trademark experts are well versed in filing new EU trademarks and defending applications in light of any objections raised.

Prosecuting Trademarks and Initiating Internatio-nal Applications in Hungary

Prosecuting trademarks nationally takes advantage of the lower likelihood of applications being opposed and exposes trademarks to less vulnerability compared to the rights EU trademarks afford.

Enforcement

Status disputes, infringements, customs monitor-ing and enforcement through taxation authority, domain name disputes and other litigation proceedings constitute our key strength.

Trademark Searches

Our team of specialists conduct a wide range of trademark searches

Other Services

We gladly undertake the renewal of trademarks, and recordation of different amendments and assignments for international clients.

Passing-of and Unfair Competition

We provide legal representation in intellectual property rights infringement and litigation in unfair market conduct cases.

IP Contracts

We prepare industrial property rights contracts and advise on negotiations on all aspects of industrial property rights protection.

Copyright- and Software Disputes

We assist in enforcement procedures relating to the infringement of copyright and neighbouring rights, ima-ge elements, as well as in AdWords disputes.

Intellectual Property Valuation and Audits

For more than 15 years Danubia IP has been the only service provider in the Hungarian market to list intellectual property valuation as its core activity, with assignments typically revolving around transfer pricing, M&A acquisitions and venture capital investments.

Developing and Implementing an Organisational IP Policy

We assist in developing and implementing IP Policies with the aim of minimising legal risks, and protecting, enhancing and utilising intellectual property.

Technology Transfer and Licence Agreements

In the event we are advising you as the purchasing party in a transaction, as a client from abroad we will help you navigate local legislation and the approach to negotiating, and guide you through the entire negotiation process to the successful closure of the transaction.

Industrial Property and Innovation Consultancy

We advise on and help you navigate the specific issues which arise uniquely in relation to industrial rights protection and intellectual property management.
