PatentReview

On the Side of Evidence

As part of our first project, we are examining the European patents of inventors Antal Rogán, Balázs Csík and Csaba Lengyel, which are in force in Hungary under the registration numbers E038266 and E058164.

Based on our preliminary technical and legal assessment, our first step will be to initiate proceedings before the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO) seeking the revocation of the Hungarian national effect of these patents.

Subject to the outcome of those proceedings and the resources available, we will also consider initiating appropriate legal proceedings in respect of the corresponding national patent rights in other countries where these European patents are in force.

Why Does This Matter?

Where well-founded technical or legal questions arise regarding the validity of a patent, the patent system provides a mechanism for an independent, evidence-based review. This is not a weakness of the system, but one of its fundamental safeguards.

The first PatentReview project therefore extends beyond a single patent dispute. Its objective is to demonstrate that the technical and legal review of a patent attracting significant public interest can be conducted transparently and on the basis of publicly verifiable evidence.

We believe that initiatives of this kind can help strengthen public confidence in the patent system, promote legal certainty, and support fair competition, regardless of who the inventors or patent proprietors may be.

Our Principles

Evidence Comes First

We believe that technical and legal questions should be assessed solely on the basis of verifiable facts and evidence. Evidence must always take precedence over assumptions, opinions or personal beliefs.

Verifiable Sources

Every analysis, finding and conclusion we publish is based on publicly available documents, scientific publications, patent records and other verifiable sources. We are committed to ensuring that our work is transparent, traceable and open to independent verification.

Independence and Objectivity

Our work is guided solely by professional and technical considerations. Our analyses focus exclusively on the available technical and legal evidence, regardless of the individuals, organisations or public figures involved.

Transparency

Throughout the project, we are committed to making our technical analyses, supporting evidence and the key milestones of the proceedings publicly available wherever legally possible, allowing anyone with an interest in the case to follow our work.

Public Knowledge Base

Our goal is to build a freely accessible, evidence-based digital knowledge base that enables engineers, researchers, legal professionals, journalists and members of the public to independently explore and assess the technical and legal aspects of the case.

Community Funding

A project of this scale requires substantial technical research, legal expertise and procedural resources. PatentReview's objective is to carry out this work independently, guided solely by professional and technical considerations.

Community funding enables us to remain independent of commercial or political interests, ensuring that our work is driven by evidence, sound technical and legal analysis, and the public interest.
