The application form is completed on the PPIA portal and signed with the assistance of a lawyer; after the opposition period the registration fee is paid and the mark is entered in the register.
Cancellation for non-use is decided by a court and cannot be requested until five years after registration (Article 66).

International

Guatemala is not a member of the Madrid Protocol, so an international registration through WIPO cannot designate it.
