Subject: VENEZUELA - Renewal Notice September of 2026 - owner: EXACTECH, INC.
Importance: High

Dear Robert:

We are reaching out as we are the attorneys of record in Venezuela for the trademark listed below, which was previously handled in coordination with our colleagues at GREENBERG. They have informed us that they are no longer responsible for managing this trademark. As the trademark is due to expire in September 2026 and we did not have updated information regarding the party currently in charge, we conducted a review of the USPTO database and found that you are the recorded attorney for it.

In light of the above, and should the client wish to maintain the validity of the trademark, kindly note that the renewal may be filed within the six (6) months preceding its expiration date.

 Owner: EXACTECH, INC.

Professional fees

16% VAT

Official fees

Expenses

Total

US$350

US$56

US$240

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.

  *   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 confirm that the recorded owner of the referenced trademark in Venezuela is EXACTECH, INC. However, we noted that, according to the USPTO database, this trademark has been subject to multiple assignments in the United States. Accordingly, should the ownership require updating, we would be pleased to assist with the preparation and filing of the corresponding change of ownership.

  *   To assist client with the preparation and filing of a Renewal application and an eventual Change of Ownership, we require to have a POA that must be duly notarized and apostille.

  *   The costs connected to the preparation and filing of a Change of Ownership (Assignment, Merger, Change of Name) in connection with the trademark in reference are the following: Professional fees: US$ 200,00 + 16% VAT / Official fees: US$ 90,00 / Expenses: US$ 45,00 / Document's translation fees: US$ 30,00 (per page).

  *   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.

We look forward to your comments and instructions.

Best regards,

Mariateresa
