Patentability

What are the criteria for patentability in your jurisdiction?

In order for an invention to be patentable in Greece, it must be new, involve an inventive step and be susceptible of industrial application. A patentable invention may concern a product, process or industrial application. In order for an invention to be considered as involving an inventive step, it must not be obvious to a person skilled in the art.

In order for it to be considered susceptible to industrial application, the subject matter must be possible to produce or use in any industrial field.
