As of 19 February 2015, the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office (HIPO) has made its design data available to the DesignView search tool.

The integration of the HIPO is a concrete result of the Cooperation Fund Programme managed by OHIM in collaboration with its European partners.

This last extension brings the total number of offices participating in DesignView to 26. Besides Hungary these are: Austria, Bulgaria, Benelux, Czech Republic, Estonia, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Cyprus, Denmark and the OHIM. The total number of countries on-board also includes incorporations of non-EU offices: South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Norway and Russia. With the addition of almost 13.000 Hungarian designs, DesignView now provides information and access to more than 3,6 million designs in total.

Since the introduction of DesignView in November 2012, the tool has served more than 834.000 searches from 135 different countries, with users from Germany, Spain, the UK and France among the most frequent visitors.
