The Hellenic Industrial Property Organisation (OBI) is the only legally qualified institution for the protection of inventions and industrial designs. It also provides technological information from worldwide patent databases.
OBI’s Regional Sub-offices are aimed at inventors, industrial designers, businesses, chambers, academic and technological institutes, research institutes, young entrepreneurs, start-ups, professional organisations, individuals and others.
The Regional Sub-office provides:
- technological information from Patents at National and International level;
- information and personalised assistance on industrial property protection and research results;
- information to the public;
- transfer and diffusion of technological information to any interested party in Greece;
- printed information related to the Organisation and its services, as well as application forms for protection titles;
- help and guidelines to the applicants on the filling of applications for protection titles (patents, utility models, designs). The available information at this level is enough to get knowledge of the level of the prior art at a first stage and to apply for “pre-research”.
