Greece trademark search
How to search and register a trademark in Greece, from official sources. Signa does not sync the OBI register yet. It holds EU trade marks from EUIPO and WIPO Madrid designations that cover Greece.
Search the OBI register
How OBI records can be consulted, as the office states it.
OBI does not offer a trademark search tool of its own: its trademark search page links to EUIPO's TMview, which carries Greek national marks. OBI states that TMview is informational only and that its data should be checked against the National Trademark Register kept by OBI at 21 Varvaki & Momferatou Street, Athens.

Good to know
- Under Law 4679/2020, an examiner checks absolute grounds and publishes the decision accepting the application; oppositions are heard by the Administrative Trade Marks Committee, and the mark is entered in the register only once no opposition is filed or all oppositions are finally rejected.
- Online filing at tmfo.obi.gr requires Greek TAXIS login credentials and online card payment; paper filing is also accepted.
- For international registrations designating Greece, WIPO's Madrid profile states that a Greek lawyer must be appointed to respond in Greek in procedures before the office.
Madrid Protocol and regional systems
Greece is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 2000-08-10, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.
- EU trade mark (EUIPO)
- An EU trade mark gives its owner an exclusive right in all current and future EU Member States, including Greece.
