Zsolt Szentpéteri is a Board Member of epi

The Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office (epi) elected Zsolt Szentpéteri as Deputy Treasurer and thus a member of its Board. In his new position - besides profesional matters - he will be partly responsible for the financial matters of the organization. The members of the Board were elected by the nearly 150-member Council during a voting held in frames of an online Council Meeting. With its seven members and prominent experts from seven different countries the Board's mandate is for three years.

It is a great honour and responsibility for Zsolt Szentpéteri to participate in the operation of the Board as the only Hungarian representative. His election is also a prominent recognition of his decades long professional career and his leadership performance.
