Trademark registration procedure in Guyana:

A trademark can be registered in Guyana pursuant to the Trade Marks Act (Chapter 90:01) which provides for both local trade mark applications dating from receipt of the application and applications to extend rights under a UK registration with effect from the date of registration in the UK. It usually takes between 18-24 months for the Registrar of Deeds at The Deeds Registry in the Ministry of Legal Affairs to process a local application for registration. A UK -based application will usually take about six months to be processed. Once the registration is complete The Deeds Registry will issue a Certificate of Registration. The protection lasts 10 years from the filing date.
