Technology & Intellectual
Property Disputes.

We act in disputes over the infringement of patents, trade marks and copyright, the unlawful use or disclosure of trade secrets, software licence disputes and domain name disputes. We represent clients before the Greek courts and, where immediate protection is needed, we consider applying for interim injunctions and other provisional measures.

Technology & IP Disputes

Registration is only the beginning.
The real test comes when the right is infringed.

A registered trademark, a granted patent or a well-drafted software licence is only worth what it can actually stop a competitor, a former employee or a counterfeiter from doing. When that line is crossed — a rival product copies patented technology, a departing executive walks out with confidential source code and client lists, a marketplace seller floods the market with counterfeit goods under your brand — the question shifts from registration strategy to litigation strategy, and speed usually matters more than anything else. An IP litigation lawyer in Greece will move for interim relief first, because infringement compounds while proceedings run.

We act for technology companies, software vendors, patent and trade mark holders and brand owners on the enforcement side of intellectual property: infringement claims, urgent interim injunctions, trade secret misappropriation claims against former employees and their new employers, software licence disputes, and the recovery of domain names — both .gr disputes and UDRP proceedings for gTLD domains. This is different from registration and filing strategy work; it is what happens once a right has already been infringed, or a confidential relationship has already broken down, and money or market share is actively at stake.

"By the time a client calls about infringement, the damage is usually already happening. The first question is never 'who is right' — it is 'how fast can we stop this.'" Evidence preservation is often the decisive step, and an IP litigation lawyer in Greece should seek it before the infringer is alerted.

Greek civil procedure allows for genuinely urgent interim relief — preliminary injunctions (ασφαλιστικά μέτρα) — where a claimant can show both a prima facie case and a real risk of harm if the court waits for a full trial. We build every enforcement matter around that possibility from the outset, gathering and preserving evidence in a form that will withstand scrutiny, whether the case ultimately settles, proceeds to an interim hearing, or goes the distance to judgment. Tell us what is being copied and how you found out.

Speed matters
Interim protection before the main trial
Where an infringement is under way, immediate protection from the court may be needed. We assess from the outset whether the conditions for interim measures and a temporary restraining order are met, and we organise the supporting evidence.
A frequent trigger
Departing employees and trade secrets
A large proportion of the disputes we see begin with a former employee or executive moving to a competitor with confidential information they should not have taken.
Not just damages
First stop the harm, then recover the loss
An order that stops an infringement while it is under way is often worth more than the damages awarded at the end.
