Republic of Guyana: registration of trademarks

Guyana is characterized by stable economic sector, so foreign businessmen are increasingly developing their activities in the country. Patenting of the trademark in Guyana is carried out according to the national procedure, which reduces the time for consideration of the application, and also increases the chances of uniqueness of the graphic interpretation of trademark.

It is worth noting that such concept as "patenting" is applied to entrepreneurs of Russia and CIS countries, and "issuance" or "registration" are often used in official documents of other states.

Creation of new trademark is possible by natural persons or corporate clients from around the world, so our lawyers use four procedures to select counterparty for registration of trademarks in Guyana.

3. Foreign entrepreneurs can use the systems "foreign application" or "foreign registration". The first operates only for the list of 174 countries participants of the Paris convention, and the second includes absolutely all countries of the world.
