Bilateral meeting between HIPO and the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property

On 26 June 2025, following the meeting of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation, a bilateral meeting took place in Munich between the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) and the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO).

The meeting brought together the heads of the two offices — Ms Catherine Chammartin, Director General of IPI, and Mr Szabolcs Farkas, President of HIPO — for an open and constructive exchange.

Discussions focused on institutional matters, including topics related to patents, training and development, quality, and the exchange of experiences between the two offices. The meeting also offered an opportunity to explore ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

We are grateful for the open dialogue and the spirit of collaboration shown by our Swiss colleagues. The exchange contributed to further enhancing our already excellent cooperation and reinforced our shared commitment to continued partnership.
