The President of Hungary met with the Director-General of the World Intellectual Property Organisation

Daren Tang and Tamás Sulyok discussed, among other issues, the growing importance of intellectual property in global economic competition.

They discussed how the challenges of the digital age, particularly the rise of artificial intelligence, are impacting the protection of intellectual works

Strong intellectual property rights encourage the development of new ideas and technologies and make a country attractive to capital and investment. Hungary excels in these areas.

The WIPO is doing important work to help young people, women and small and medium-size enterprises to become more aware of their rights and better exploit the economic potential of their inventions, ideas and creations.

The parties agreed that innovation and invention cannot be divided by ideology.
Daren Tang expressed his gratitude to Hungary for its continued support of WIPO and the international intellectual property system and wished the country success in its EU Presidency.
