[QUOTE="Theo, post: 2341645, member: 6561"] Γειά σου Νικήτα. The European angle to trademark registration differs from the US variant. In most European countries, the first to file receives priority to the applied for rights; in the US it's first use that counts. There's no simple yes/no answer to your question. In order to safeguard your .GR you need to use it. If you get a Greek trademark, extend that to a EU/International registration, and apply for one in the US (remember: use of the mark, or existing international mark must be in place.) As always, consult with an attorney. I am not one. :D [/QUOTE]
