Dear Bérénice,

Further to the below, please note the following:

  1.  The Power of Attorney is in order, and you may proceed with notarization and apostille.
  2.  We have also confirmed, upon further review, that trademark application No. 1998-003994 has lapsed. The former agent did not pay the publication fees, and therefore the application is no longer in force. This information was not available in the TMO website, but we review the official gazette.

Please let me know should you need anything further.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Dear Bérénice,

Thank you for your email below.

According to the information provided by the webpage of the Venezuelan Trademark Office, the prosecution of Appln. No. 2016-014996 is detained on the basis of the prior existence of Appl. No. 1998-003994 for SKIN, on behalf of SWATCH, S.A., SWATCH AG, SWATCH, LTD.

As previously informed, Appln. No. 1998-003994 is currently waiting to be published in a local newspaper and its prosecution seems to have been suspended without apparent reason.

In view of the above, Appln. No. 2016-014996 will remain detained until the prosecution of Appln. No. 1998-003994 is ordered to be resumed by the Venezuelan Trademark Office.

Please be advised that a brief requesting the reactivation of the registration process of Appln. No. 2016-014996 was filed in 2023 by the current agents responsible for this case.

On the other hand, with regard to Appln. No. 2016-014997, please be advised of the following:

As you may see, Appln. No. 2016-014997 is already registered and its registration will be valid until October 5, 2032.

Please note that none of these three (3) cases are being prosecuted through our office (Applns. Nos. 2016-014996, 2016-014997 and 1998-003994). Therefore, kindly advise if you wish us to include them in our database and keep surveillance thereon, so to be able to inform you on any development that might take place with regard thereto in the future.

In addition, please kindly instruct us as to whether we should proceed with the filing of a brief to request the reactivation of the registration process of Appln. No. 1998-003994, as per recommended in our email of August 7, 2024 (enclosed herewith for your easy reference).

We shall be awaiting your comments and further instructions, in order to proceed accordingly.

Dear Monica,

I come back to you again regarding pending trademarks applications in Venezuela.

Could you please give us information about our trademark SKIN App. No. 014996 and 014997 field on 21.09.2016 ?

Is-it possible to file a brief to request the reactivation of the registration process ? Always for around USD 150?

Have a great day,
