Greece Trademark Search
As is the case with all of the trademark and copyright registrations under the WIPO system, the standard is used for the name of a product, service or business in case of an overlap within an industry when the names appear to be confusingly similar. Bonamark can help any client who wishes to conduct a Greece trademark search and further registration procedures.

The Greek Trademark Office accepts initial online applications in English, but a final filing with a translation to Greek must be submitted within three months of the trademark filing date. A deposit fee of €110 is expected at the time of submission, and an additional €10 per class up to 10 classes must be included as part of a Greece trademark registration. It is possible to register a trademark in multiple classes.
Each filing should include a representation of the trademark, including an exact spelling and any versions of a logo. A list of goods and services also have to be included as well as applicant’s details as a Power of Attorney.
If your trademark is approved, it will remain valid for 10 years. You will have to submit a renewal to keep it current after 10 years from the filing date.
Duration: How Long Will it Take?
The average time for the trademark registration procedure in Greece is about 5 months. If the trademark is rejected or a conflict with another one is discovered, you will have 90 days from the date of notification to submit documentation for reconsideration.
