Notice of Allowance and Patent Granting in Greece
Patent granting in Greece is the final stage of the patent application process, where an inventor receives official protection for their invention. Once a patent is granted, the owner gains exclusive rights to the invention for up to 20 years, allowing them to prevent others from making, using, or selling the invention without permission. Understanding the patent granting process is essential for securing intellectual property rights in Greece.
What is Patent Granting?
Patent granting refers to the formal approval of a patent application by the Hellenic Industrial Property Organization (OBI). After successfully passing the examination and addressing any issues raised by the patent examiner, the invention is officially registered, and the inventor receives a patent certificate. This certificate signifies the granting of exclusive rights, providing legal protection and allowing the patent owner to take enforcement actions against infringers.
Understanding the Patent Granting Process in Greece
In Greece, the patent granting process begins after the patent application is examined for novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. If the application meets these criteria, and all objections (if any) have been addressed, the patent will be granted. At this stage, the patent is published in the official bulletin of the Hellenic Industrial Property Organization, making it publicly known. The publication of the patent also provides the public with an opportunity to challenge the grant, if necessary.
Key Steps in Patent Granting Action in Greece
1. Examination Completion: The patent examiner reviews the application to ensure it meets the legal criteria for patentability. Any objections must be resolved before the patent can be granted.
2. Payment of Fees: Once the application passes the examination, the applicant must pay the required granting fees to proceed.
3. Publication: After the fees are paid, the patent is published in the official patent bulletin, signaling the final stage of the granting process.
4. Patent Certificate Issuance: After publication, the patent certificate is issued, officially granting the inventor exclusive rights to the invention for up to 20 years from the filing date.
