Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your email.

Our client does not intend to maintain the BDPROBETEC registration in Venezuela.  Kindly close your file and allow the registration to lapse in due course.

We appreciate your assistance.  Please acknowledge receipt of these instructions.

Best regards,

Additional comments:

  *   Official fees may vary at any time; therefore, we recommend proceeding with the renewal application as soon as possible.
  *   Once the renewal application is submitted, the registration will be valid for 15 years. The issuance of the Certificate of Renewal could take between 6 to 12 months. Please keep in mind that the Venezuelan Trademark Office has recently launched this service, so its functionality is still uncertain.
  *   Proof of use of the mark is not required.
  *   Registration can be renewed within a grace period of 6 months. However, the official fee applicable is US$720, and our professional fees are US$450 + 16% VAT.
  *   The multi-class system is not applied in Venezuela.
  *   We require to have a POA, that must be duly notarized and apostille.
  *   The POA's information must match the name and address of the trademark owner recorded before the Venezuelan Trademark Office.
  *   Should any update be required regarding the trademark's ownership or address, please inform us in due time so we can assist you with their recordal.
  *   For any additional information please contact Mariateresa Santana [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]> with CC to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

We look forward to your comments and instructions.
