Hungary: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$1,584 for one class, plus US$443 for each further class. Hungary is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Hungary through an international registration. Protection in Hungary can also come from an EU trade mark, which covers all 27 EU countries. Hungary is a leading import market for electronics and software (class 9) and tobacco and smokers' articles (class 34).
Much of the trademark protection in Hungary is obtained through EU trade marks, which cover all 27 EU countries. The filing figures on this page count only applications filed directly with Hungary's own office. See European Union (EUIPO).
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
Our estimate is about US$1,584 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$456 in official fees and about US$1,128 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$443. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.

Hungary is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Hungary through an international registration. Designating Hungary costs WIPO's standard complementary fee of CHF 100 (about US$120); beyond three classes WIPO also charges a supplementary fee per class, on top of its basic fee for the international application. Protection in Hungary can also come from an EU trade mark, which covers all 27 EU countries.
