EspañolTrademark registration
means careful evaluation, specialized examination and strategic guidance
Our motto, Ideas are public, Rights are not, captures a basic truth: building a brand takes enormous effort and consistency; yet its value is incomplete unless the name is also formally yours. Protection is the continuation of creation. At Synapsee we combine years of branding experience with complete support throughout the registration process, offering a clear picture, the right orientation and practical guidance at every critical stage.
High success rate
FREE written preliminary check
Reliable outcome prediction
48-hour responseRegistration always begins with a free, written and substantive preliminary check, where the main risks and the real possibility of protecting the mark are identified before the collaboration even starts. We then move on to a more detailed analysis and full preparation, so the filing is done with maximum possible safety and organization.
Since 2015 we have advised companies on branding matters, helping them strategically protect their rights and build strong, sustainable brands.
Start with our FREE preliminary check
At Synapsee we don't treat registration as a routine procedure but as a crucial part of a brand's identity. We invest in transparency, method and proper guidance, so every client knows exactly what they are doing, why, and what protection they secure. Fill in the form and we'll call you to check your mark.
FREE notification system
Very few owners know that after registration they are responsible for checking every 3 months for new, competing trademarks. It's a critical detail that most agents don't communicate properly, leaving the investment exposed.
Because practical monitoring is almost impossible for a business owner, we cover this gap by offering our clients exclusively a free notification system that acts as a safety net for 10 years - a real tool that alerts you when needed, at no charge.
Note: The notification service is offered free and in good faith as an auxiliary tool, without constituting a 10-year contractual commitment or official legal monitoring.

Trademark Subsidy
Every year the European Union activates the Trademark SME Fund, a subsidy covering up to 75% of the fees for filing a European trademark - a substantial boost for small and medium-sized enterprises across 27 countries.
The cost for handling the subsidy application at Synapsee is €150, and it is done FREE when we have undertaken the filing of your European trademark.

Registration stages
We optimized the methodology into 3 core stages, providing the highest quality of examination.
Preliminary check of absolute grounds & offer
In the 1st stage we carry out a short but substantive check to identify any obstacles. We examine whether the mark is descriptive or misleading, whether it is contrary to accepted principles, and whether an identical wording already exists in the relevant databases. It's a first, free view of whether the mark can proceed.
Questionnaire, class and terms consulting
We send you the questionnaire to record precisely the products and services of the mark. We then guide you through choosing the right terms for the classes you selected, so your mark gets the best possible coverage.
Filing and updates at every stage of the process
We handle the preparation and filing of the application and keep you informed at every important step: publication by the office, the start and end of the third-party opposition period, and delivery of the registration certificate once the process is complete.
* Terms are the more detailed descriptions within each class; they define precisely what is protected (e.g. "digital marketing services", "jewellery of precious metals", "restaurant services", etc.). Choosing the right classes and terms - under the Nice system - is critical.

If you think the cost of registration is an expense, consider how much more expensive it is to lose it. Nightmare for the Brand.

Frequently asked questions
Why we don't do "express" filings
Trademark registration is not a simple technical submission but a process that directly affects the security and value of a brand. Filing without a serious check, risk assessment and proper class selection can lead to rejections, oppositions or future problems. That's why we choose a methodical process that reduces risk.
What is the registration timeline?
Questionnaire → Document gathering & conflict check (5 business days) → Application filing (5 business days) → Preliminary examination (~1 month) → Publication → Opposition period (3 months). The mark is usually "Registered" in about 4-5 months.
What can I register as a trademark?
Any distinctive element that helps the public recognize your business or products: verbal (name, phrases, slogans), visual (logos, symbols), even special forms such as 3D shapes, sounds or packaging, provided they have distinctive character.
Can a trademark be registered by two people?
Yes. A mark can be registered by several co-owners, individuals or companies. All appear officially in the registration and share the rights; a clear agreement on use, rights and obligations is needed.
What are oppositions and appeals for similar marks?
The office checks whether prior marks that may cause confusion exist. If one is deemed conflicting, the earlier owner can file an opposition. Similarity of name, image and classes is examined; there is a right of appeal.
What will the renewal cost be in 10 years?
With current data, renewing a national mark would cost €120 for the first class and €20 for each additional class, plus a €150 filing fee.
How much does filing cost and what does it depend on?
On the number of classes and the type of registration (national, European or international). Each system has its own fees. Service fees include the check, class configuration, application drafting and case management until the final decision.
I'm an individual - can I register a trademark?
Yes. No company is required; an individual can own a mark in their own name by declaring the relevant product/service classes. Many creators and professionals start this way.
On our website you will find complete guidance for trademark registration and brand name registration, whether it concerns a brand name, a company name in Greece, in Europe or internationally.
We provide legal support for the legal protection of a trademark, trademark legal rights and intellectual property protection in general, in cooperation with the Greek Trademark Office and the relevant European organizations.
