Hi Allison,

We inform you that according to the Bolivian TMO's system, the outstanding observation for rectification by the trademark applicant remains pending, even though that the deadline for such rectification has already passed.

This matter will be addressed on a meeting with the TMO authorities this week, so we will provide a full report next week.

We remain attentive to any comment or doubt.

Best regards,
Paula

Dear Allison,

We hope you are well. Please be informed that, the Bolivian TMO has detained this case due to an error in the applicant’s identification details in the original application for MUSTANG-H CAR BATTERY.

As a result, the Office has requested that this information must corrected by the applicant and a fee paid to allow for a new publication.

The applicant has sixty business days to make these amendments, but considering all deadlines, the matter must be addressed by the end of this month.

If the correction is not made, the application will be considered abandoned. If the deficiency is remedied, a new publication will be issued, and the opposition period will restart from the date of that publication.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need further clarification.

We will inform you as soon as there are further news.

Dear Sheila:

Continuing with previous correspondence, regarding the above-captioned matter, please  be advised that according to last communication with the applicant for MUSTANG-H CAR BATTERY will withdraw their application and change their mark.  However, we cannot confirm the withdrawal officially, nor if a response or a cancellation was filed, since the PTO is not working normally due to the lockdown determined by the National Government and the suspension of the administrative terms in force in Bolivia.  At the moment they are only processing new filings​ and all the remaining actions, disputes and processes are on hold.

Once we have further details we will revert back to you.

Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Dear Sirs:

We revert back to captioned matter to inform you that we have been contacted by HORUS S.R.L.

The Applicant for MUSTANG-H CAR BATTERY has explained to us that they would be only interested in covering “batteries for cars and motorcycles”, so they would be willing to limit their goods to this in exchange of withdrawing the opposition.

Please note that we are not sure if they have filed a response already. In any case, we advise to review the use of the trademark considering that they might have filed or might file a possible cancellation action as defense. In a previous mail the client asked if the use in Colombia and/or Peru could help in case of a cancellation and we confirmed it does. What we would advise to review now is if this use is by the owner of the registration directly or by a third person, in which case we will need to demonstrate the relationship of this third party with the owner, preferably with official documents (Commerce registry certificates, license agreement, distribution agreement, etc.)

Please inform the client about this offer and kindly let us have their instructions.

Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Please acknowledge receipt, by return.

Best regards,

Rocío Valladares

Dear Sirs;

We revert back to captioned matter to inform you that the opposition was filed on October 3, 2019. You will receive the full report soon.

Please know that we have a PoA to proceed on this opposition.  However, after reviewing it we have noticed that the document is from 2003, therefore it does not include some legal power to proceed with appeals in the name of the client or some specifications that now the authority requests in this kind of documents.  We repeat that we have a sufficient power to file the opposition, but in our opinion, and in order to look after the client’s rights in the long term, we suggest to update the Power of Attorney.

We understand that this might represent an additional cost and work for you, however, we consider that doing this now that there is no deadline or pending action, could avoid dealing with short deadlines in the future to obtain this document.

Please find attached our form duly completed with the information we have on the current PoA.  The document has to be Apostilled.

We look forward to have your comments and the client’s thoughts.

Cordially, ,

Dear Rocio,

We have had an opportunity to discuss this matter with the client. Please proceed with the opposition. We will follow up shortly with the applicable Anaqua number.

Do you believe it also makes sense to send a letter to the applicant regarding use?

Kind regards,

Anna

Dear Sirs,

Continuing with previous correspondence, regarding the above-captioned matter, and your e-mail below, please be informed that according to Bolivian regulation, the use of a trademark in any country of the Andean Community can be used to defend a cancellation action filed in any country of the Andean Community.  Considering this, we confirm that Ford could defend a nonuse challenge of their mark in Bolivia based on use in Colombia and/or Peru. Kindly be advised that in order to overcome a possible cancellation, it is necessary to demonstrate the trademark has being used for the past three years by the owner of the registration.

Regarding the chances of success, in an opposition, we estimate 70% due to the similarity of the denominations and the products.

Please acknowledge receipt, by return.

We hope this information is useful and look forward to your further instructions.

Cordially,

Rocío Valladares

Dear Rocio,

Thank you for the notification below. Please clarify if the deadline is October 4, 2019 or September 30, 2019.

Ford owns a 1973 registration for MUSTANG in Class 12. While the MUSTANG vehicle does not appear to be officially offered in Bolivia, it is offered in other Andean community countries, such as Colombia and Peru. Would Ford be able to successfully defeat a nonuse challenge based on these uses, should the applicant attempt to cancel Ford’s mark?

Please also provide your opinion on chances of success in an opposition.

Kind regards,

Anna

Dear Sirs,

We wish to advice you of the following application appearing in the Official Gazette for opposition purposes:

  *   TM MUSTANG - H CAR BATTERY, Pub. No. 210923 filed in the name of HORUS S.R.L. from BOLIVIA, covering products in class 12 of the International Classification.

As it appears this trademark may be in conflict with your trademark MUSTANG in class 12 since they are phonetically similar and both cover products in the same class.  We would appreciate your advising us whether you wish to file an opposition.  The argument in this case would be the similarity between the trademarks and that both trademarks protect the same products, which may lead to confusion to the public.

The term for the opposition expires on September 30, 2019.  Yet, we ask to let us know your instructions before this deadline. The cost for filing one opposition against one trademark application is USD 1.025.

Please acknowledge receipt, by return.

Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Cordially,

Rocío Valladares
