By and large intellectual and industrial property rights owners enjoy effective protection by the Greek courts, based on the well structured body of Greek law on IP, trademarks and patents. Both in Greek theory and case law the term "Industrial Property Law" is used to include Trademark and Patent Law, while the term "Intellectual Property Law" is used for the works of the intellect, thus for what in other countries is more known as "copyright". The applicable legislation is law 2239/1994 on Trademarks, law 2121/93 on Intellectual Property and law 1733/1987 on Transfer of Technology, patents and technical innovations. All the aforementioned statues provide both for civil and penal protection.
