Bilateral meeting between the Hellenic Industrial Property Organisation (OBI) and the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO)

On 24 July 2025, a bilateral meeting took place in Athens between the Hellenic Industrial Property Organisation (OBI) and the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO). 

The bilateral meeting was led by Mr Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, Director General of OBI, and Mr Szabolcs Farkas, President of HIPO. The delegations engaged in open and productive discussions on a wide range of topics.

The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the functioning of both offices. Discussions focused on the exchange of experiences, current developments—including patent-related aspects—and strategic priorities. It also addressed the role of national outreach activities in promoting innovation and IP awareness, and the growing relevance of digital transformation and artificial intelligence in the field of intellectual property.

As part of the visit, the OBI delegation kindly offered a brief tour of their facilities.

We are sincerely grateful to our Greek colleagues for their warm hospitality—both during the meeting and beyond—which, combined with unforgettable culinary experiences, made this visit truly special and memorable.

We are confident that our fruitful cooperation will continue and further deepen in the future.

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ! (Thank you very much!)
