Patent Law 1733/1987 (amended by Article 18 Law 1739/1987; 1883/1990) ratified the Patent Cooperation Treaty in Greece. By filing one international patent application there is protection in 148 countries-including all of US and Europe. Thus a US individual doing business in Greece will obtain Patent protection in Greece, through the Greek laws implementing the PCT.
Trademarks are protected in Greece by Law 2239/94 P.D. 353/1998, and No 2783/200 implementing the Trade Law Treaty; and the Madrid Protocol (international registration of marks).
As to Copyright, Greek law 2121/1993 amended Article 8 Law 2557/1997, implementing the EC Directive 93/83; and the Berne Convention, and WIPO Treaties.
