Since 1919, Patrinos & Kilimiris has maintained an unwavering focus on intellectual property law. As Greece’s oldest continuously operating IP law firm, we have evolved into a leading, award-winning practice with a dedicated team of over 20 professionals, including five attorneys, all specializing exclusively in IP matters
Our century-long commitment to excellence has established us as a highly regarded firm in the legal community. Top-ranked in leading legal directories, we are recognized for the exceptional quality of our service and for our sophisticated approach to complex IP challenges, delivering results that extend beyond client expectations and national borders.
Throughout its history, P&K has played a pivotal role in shaping Greek IP jurisprudence. We have handled numerous precedent-setting cases – often in areas where no national case law previously existed – contributing to the harmonization of Greek legal interpretation with European standards.
Our pharmaceutical patent litigation work is particularly distinguished for its complexity and commercial significance, requiring both exceptional legal acumen and deep technical expertise.
With extensive experience in complex cross-border proceedings, we stand out both domestically and internationally. We regularly represent clients before Greek courts and administrative authorities, as well as before the EUIPO, the General Court, and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Working in close cooperation with international legal teams, we enforce and defend IP rights across multiple jurisdictions, bringing a truly European perspective to IP strategy and enforcement.
Our clients range from innovative start-ups to multinational corporations, across industries including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, electronics and telecommunications, medical devices, energy technologies, consumer and luxury goods, and manufacturing and industrial design. To meet their diverse needs, we provide a comprehensive service portfolio covering the full spectrum of IP and related legal work: patent, trademark, and design counseling, filing and prosecution; copyright protection and enforcement; domain name registration and dispute resolution; customs enforcement proceedings; franchising, distribution, and licensing agreements; specialized technical translations; technology contract disputes and arbitration; and IP portfolio assessments and strategic planning.
Grounded in experience, adaptability, and trusted partnerships, our approach enables us to craft effective strategies tailored to each client’s unique challenges while navigating the complete range of IP-related matters with confidence and care.
