Procedure (special aspects)

In Guatemala there is no possibility of registering intellectual property rights before customs for surveillance, so that the authorities can seize any product suspected of being counterfeit.

The Guatemalan Industrial Property Law provides for border measures by empowering the person who has sufficient evidence of a suspected import or export of goods that infringe their rights. this party can request the judicial authorities to order the Customs authorities to stop the entry or export of the goods. In practice, the way to carry out the measures is by filing a criminal complaint.
