Dear Colleagues,

We hope this email finds you well.
We are pleased to inform you that the above referenced applications have been granted, and this decision has been published in the current Official Gazette No. 626, dated December 28, 2023.
We have now until February 8, 2024 to pay the final registration fees. If these fees are not paid on time, the subject application will be considered as lapsed. No extensions of time are available.
Please be informed that the amount to be paid for the final registration fees of each application is the following:
Professional fees:
US$ 300.00
Official fees:
US$ 993.00
Expenses:
US$ 45.00
2nd. Annuity
US$ 167.90
VAT 16%:
US$ 48.00
TOTAL:
US$ 1,553.90
Please note that, due to the fact that the official fees have been significantly increased, we are compelled to request the payment in advance of the above-mentioned amount and before the due date.
Consequently, if instructed to proceed, our invoice will firstly be issued and sent to your attention. Thereafter, and upon receipt of your confirmation that our invoice has been settled, we shall proceed with the payment of the fees corresponding to both the grant and the 2nd annuity.
In this regard, please note that the payment of the 2nd annuity should be made together with the payment of the final registration fees.
As for the patent number, please note that it will be assigned by the VPTO after the registration fees are duly paid. If so, once a patent number is assigned to this case, we will inform you accordingly.
Finally, please be advised that, according to the criteria of the Venezuelan Patent Office, the patent registration will be valid for twenty (20) years, as from the granting date.
We await your comments and further instructions at the latest by January 26th, 2024.
Sincerely,

Rubén Calderón  (on behalf of Manuel Polanco)
