The Executive Director of the European Union Intellectual Property Office visited MOME

Date: 2024.10.16
As part of the professional conference titled Intellectual Property in the Age of Artificial Intelligence hosted by the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO), MOME welcomed Executive Director of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) João Negrão and Vice-President of the HIPO Dr. Péter Lábody.

The EUIPO and HIPO representatives learned about several intellectual property programmes incorporated into MOME’s daily operations, and discussed building the university's intellectual property portfolios and the IP-related, community-building, educational activities taking place at MOME with the university’s CEO Réka Matheidesz, and Head of the IP Point Dr. Flóra Gubicz. 

  

The visitors were also presented with the university’s refreshed IP activities implemented since 2021, including the workshop series titled Get Your First Design Protection. As a result of these efforts, the number of student design filings has doubled since last year. The number of female applicants has also risen significantly, with three-quarters of the filings now coming from women. While exceeding international trends, it also reflects the gender ratio at the university, at the same time demonstrating that global figures can improve with the right knowledge and support. 

  

In addition, the professional meeting included a visit to the Mobility Design Lab, where the guests explored current applications of AI in design processes and explored, together with students from the Lab, the future impact of artificial intelligence on design. 

  

In 2024, MOME received the Millennium Prize in recognition of its contributions to intellectual property protection. Established by the Hungarian Patent Office, this award recognises institutions and companies that play an outstanding role in safeguarding intellectual property. Since 2012, MOME has been committed to intellectual property protection, with a particular focus on IP-related areas. In 2021, it introduced a new intellectual property management policy, launched an IP course, and created an IP information point to promote better understanding of the topic. These opportunities support not only students but also teachers and researchers in managing the rights to their intellectual property.

Idén is bemutatkoztak a MOME hallgatói az Ars Electronica nemzetközi Campus Exhibition keretében. A Gradual Exposure című válogatás vezérfonalát a dezinformáció, a digitális bizalom válsága, a klímaváltozás és a geopolitikai feszültségek témái adták, amelyekhez a hallgatók kísérletező, kutatásalapú és transzdiszciplináris megközelítésekkel kapcsolódtak. A munkák kész válaszok helyett inkább alternatív perspektívákat, új gondolkodási horizontokat kínáltak tükrözve az intézmény erős interdiszciplináris szellemiségét.
Az idei Budapest Design Weeken a MOME múltja és jövője egyszerre válik láthatóvá: a 360 Design kiállítás a kortárs alkotók munkái mellett a Borz Kováts Sándor-életművet és annak hatásait mutatja be a mai tervezőkre, míg az Átjárások című válogatás a legfrissebb hallgatói munkákon keresztül ad betekintést a formatervezés jövőjébe. A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem (MOME) Formatervező szakja több mint ötven éve a magyar design egyik legfontosabb műhelye, amelyből generációk óta kerülnek ki a hazai és nemzetközi kreatívipar meghatározó tervezői.
This year marked the fourth edition of the CheckINN Revitalisator idea competition, launched by Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) and the CheckINN Tourism Innovation Hub.
