Frequently Asked Questions
A trademark is considered to be any sign represented graphically which is able to distinguish a company’s products or services from those of another one. Trademarks can be consisted of words, natural or legal persons’ names, nicknames, images, sketches, letters, numbers and sounds, including musical phrases. It could also be a product’s shape or the form of its packaging.
There are three trademark types: The National one, the European and the International one.
The National trademark is being registered at the Ministry of Development’s Trademark Department and is valid (which means it exists and is protected) only in Greece.
The European trademark (the European Union trademark, former Community trademark) is registered at the European Union Intellectual Property Office and is valid in the 28 -up to now- EU countries where it is also protected.
The International trademark requires having registered a greek or an EU trademark before. Following a beneficiary’s application, the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) attends to forward the same trademark to as many countries as the applicant wishes to. Thus, the International trademark is not a trademark which is valid all over the world: it is a bundle of National trademarks which are treated as National trademark registrations in the countries chosen by the beneficiary.
Currently, Papaki offers a registration service only for National trademarks.
A trademark registration process does need some time to be completed. Not only for gathering paperwork but also for the check and finalisation by the authorities. Once the application has been submitted, there is an approximate five-month waiting time for it to be processed by the authorities and know whether the trademark has been approved or not.
Once a trademark is registered, it constitutes a product of intellectual property as well as the applicant’s asset for 10 years. Afterwards, if the beneficiary wishes, there can be a trademark renewal.
According to the international classification system of products and services, National, European and International trademarks can be registered for 45 classes of products and services. In order to register a trademark, the applicant has to choose in which class the product or the service offered, falls into.
