Guatemala’s Copyright Law (Decree 33-98) protects literary, artistic, and software works for the author’s life plus 75 years, with optional RPI registration proving ownership in disputes. It excludes ideas but covers expressions, aligning with Berne Convention standards.
Enforcement involves civil claims, seizures, and damages, bolstered by recent mediation centers. Registration simplifies proof in court, vital against digital piracy, and integrates with broader IP reforms for creators and businesses.
