In the event that a TM has been pre-filed in a country (country of origin), priority can be claimed upon filing of the TM application in a new country. In this case the TM protection begins in the new country from the date of the TM application in the country of origin. A priority right is acquired in Greece under the following conditions: It is claimed within 6 months as from the date of the TM application in the country of origin. The Priority Document, notarized and further legalized with Apostille, with its translation in Greek is submitted within 3 months as from the date of the filing of the application in the new country. In the event that the applicant for the TM is not the same as the applicant mentioned on the Priority Document, a TM Assignment Deed with its translation in Greek must also be submitted. If this Assignment Deed is not certified by the Trademark Office of the country of origin, then it must be notarized and further legalized with Apostille.
