VI. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INFORMATION
In 2015 Hungary joined the Designview design search tool of the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market.
The objective of the National Board Against Counterfeiting (NBAC) is to reduce the supply of counterfeit and pirated products, to enhance the effectiveness of enforcement action in the fight against the infringement of IP rights, and to mitigate the unfavourable economic impact of counterfeiting and other infringements. In order to achieve the above objectives it drew up proposals and plans for regulation, organised trainings, events and information campaigns for awareness raising, conducted surveys, did research and brought about cooperation among domestic and international stakeholders and representatives of the media. The body actively cooperates with the European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights (Observatory), operated by EUIPO, and representatives of NBAC regularly attend its plenary sessions and the meetings of its five working groups.
