Maiwald at the FICPI 23rd Open Forum in Budapest

The FICPI 23rd Open Forum will take place from 16 to 18 September 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. The conference brings together IP professionals from around the world and offers an excellent opportunity to discuss current developments in intellectual property, exchange experiences and strengthen international relationships.

The Open Forum is well known for its high-quality programme featuring parallel sessions on IP Practice Management, Patents, and Trade Marks & Designs. In addition to practice-oriented discussions on IP law and firm management, the event provides many opportunities for networking within the international IP community.

With its unique position between East and West, Budapest provides an ideal setting for cross-border exchange and collaboration. The professional programme will be complemented by a varied social programme, allowing delegates to experience the Hungarian capital while reconnecting with colleagues and building new relationships.

Maiwald will be represented at this year’s FICPI Open Forum by our colleagues Dr. Stefanie Parchmann and Dr. Norbert Hansen.

We look forward to insightful discussions, fresh perspectives and engaging exchanges with colleagues from the international IP community.
