Dear Susan,

Hope this email finds you well.

Continuing with this matter, we have noticed that there were two additional points we forgot to mention regarding your May 11 email, so please find our comments below:

1. Regarding the status of trademark application INTELLEX, Application No. 2015-009157, filed by Sensormatic Electronics, LLC, we inform you that the application was rejected based on the existence of the prior trademark INTELLEXIA, Registration No. P245881, owned by Hoet Pelaez Castillo & Duque.

Sensormatic appealed the rejection and, as part of its defense strategy, filed a non-use cancellation action against the prior registration. The cancellation action was recently notified to the owner, who has until May 18 to file a response.

We will remain attentive to determine whether the owner files a timely response.

2. On the other hand, we have reviewed the document evidencing the change of address of TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LP from 491 North Cannon Avenue, Lansdale, Pennsylvania 19446, United States of America, to 1400 Pennbrook Parkway, Lansdale, Pennsylvania 19446, United States of America, effective November 22, 2010, and subsequently to 1467 Elmwood Ave, Cranston, RI 02910, United States of America.

In this regard, in order to avoid having to record two separate changes of address and incur duplicate costs (official fees, professional fees, and expenses), we recommend preparing an Affidavit stating that TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS LP changed its address from Pennsylvania, United States of America to 1467 Elmwood Ave, Cranston, Rhode Island 02910, United States of America.

We suggest referring only to the state and country in connection with the former address in Pennsylvania in order to avoid any possible objection from the Trademark Office, since we have noted that in several cases the address was identified as 451 North Cannon Avenue instead of 491 North Cannon Avenue.

Attached please find our Affidavit format duly completed. This document must be notarized and apostilled, and the original must be sent to our offices in Caracas, Venezuela.

If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Luis

Subject: RE: Johnson Controls Trademark Portfolio in Venezuela

Dear Luis,

Thank you very much for responding so quickly.  We are also looking forward to building a long-term and successful relationship with you and your firm.

On Monday I will send you the engagement letter signed by Sebastien so you can return it to me with your acknowledgement signature.

I am very happy to hear you can handle the June 1 renewals for the TYCO registrations.  I will begin the process for the POA next week but, since you can file the renewals without the POA, it will be more efficient if you can send me the POAs for the remaining entities so Sebastien only makes one trip to the Notary.

To that end, I cancelled our TYCO renewal instructions in our termination letter to De Sola Pate Brown.  The renewal I asked them to file in April was not filed until two days before it was due after several reminders so I’m fairly confident they have not filed the TYCO renewals.  I asked them to forward any notices they receive and work with you during the transition.

Thank you very much for offering to audit our trademarks.  Next week I will send you the background I have for the pending applications.

As noted in the SOPs, we expect our counsel to keep our records in Oblima current and attach the Oblima Quick Guide for reference.  I will copy you and your team on my email to Abion asking them to give Bolet & Terrero access to our Venezuelan trademarks in Oblima.  Xenia will ask you to provide her with information to set your firm up in Oblima and provide you with access to our records.  Once you are set up, Xenia can provide your team with live training and/or a recorded training regarding how to use Oblima.  Please let me know if you do not hear from Xania before the end of next week or have any questions.

On Monday I will also send you detailed information about our billing procedures, including instructions to invoice the TYCO renewals, and put you in touch with our Center of Excellence colleagues to set your firm up in Legal Tracker and with our AP departments.

Finally, I will be your main contact during this transition and look forward to working with you so please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Kind Regards,
Susan

Dear Susan,

First of all, we would like to thank Sebastian and the entire Johnson Controls team for placing your trust in us to assist you in Venezuela. It is truly an honor for us to represent a company such as yours.

We are committed to building a long-term and successful relationship with your team.

Now, regarding your inquiry, please find below our comments:

1. Enclosed you will find the engagement letter duly signed and completed, including appendix A

2. Regarding the trademark renewals due to expire on June 1, we can handle them without any problem. In fact, we may file the renewals even without the Power of Attorney and submit it later, in case we do not receive it one or two weeks before the expiration date.

Therefore, we still have sufficient time to act without putting at risk the renewal of the trademark registrations in reference.

3. Enclosed please find our Power of Attorney form. This document must be notarized and apostilled, and the original should be sent to our office in Caracas.

4. We will immediately proceed to enter all the trademarks included in the Excel document into our watch system. By next week, everything should be fully in place to begin the effective monitoring and management of the portfolio.

Additionally, as a courtesy, we will conduct an audit of the trademarks and, as soon as it is completed, we will revert to you with the corresponding results and recommendations.

We are very excited and pleased to begin working together. We wish you a wonderful weekend and remain at your entire disposal for anything you may need.

Regards,

Luis

Dear Luis,

Sebastien said you had a great meeting at INTA this week and we would like to move forward with Bolet & Terrero taking over responsibility for our Trademark portfolio in Venezuela.

To that end, please review the following attached documents and let me know if you have any questions.

•         Draft Engagement Letter (If acceptable, please complete Appendix A, sign and return to me to be signed by Sebastien.)

•         Outside Counsel Management Policy (Appendix C)

•         Our Trademark portfolio in Venezuela

•         Our SOPs for Agents

01-Jun-2026        TYCO Reg. P-231505 in Class 6

Dear Susan and Sebastian,

First of all, thank you very much for considering us as a potential provider of IP legal services in Venezuela. It is a pleasure for us to participate in this tender.

Please find attached our responses to your questionnaire, along with the preferential fee schedule we are pleased to offer.

We would also like to highlight that Venezuela has been undergoing significant changes following the events of January 3, 2026. In this context, we are observing a gradual reactivation of the economy and a more favorable environment for business.

Accordingly, we are advising our clients to review and update their trademark portfolios. Kindly note that, under Venezuelan law, trademarks that have not been used for a period of two years may be subject to cancellation actions by third parties. Therefore, it is advisable to assess whether filing new applications may be appropriate in order to mitigate such risks.

In this regard, we would be pleased to offer a complimentary audit of your trademark portfolio.

Additionally, I will revert tomorrow to Sebastian’s email regarding our availability to meet at INTA on the proposed date and time.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any clarification or additional information.

Kind regards,

Luis
