Estimada Paula:

Siguiendo con nuestras correspondencias previas sobre el tema de referencia, confirmamos haber respondido en tiempo oportuno a la última Acción Oficial emitida en este caso. Adjuntamos a la presente confirmación electrónica de dicha respuesta.

Con esto, y salvo que surjan nuevas objeciones, el Examinador deberá aprobar la marca para su publicación, lo cual estimamos que ocurrirá en los siguientes 3-4 meses.

Les avisaremos tan pronto tengamos novedades.

Confirmo que podemos intentar incluir la limitación que requieren a la descripción de servicios al momento de presentar la respuesta a la Acción Oficial. Dependerá del Examinador si acepta la inclusión o no.

El costo por preparar y presentar la respuesta a la Acción Oficial en los términos indicados será de US$900.00.

Estimado Justin,

Con relación a la poibilidad que planteas de intentar sobrellevar el rechazo, es posible aportar esta nueva evidencia que te hemos enviado? De igual manera, en los servicios descritos en la página web de la compañía, se indica que esta: Brindamos apoyo a los fundadores y equipos directivos, aprovechando nuestra experiencia en mercados emergentes y finanzas, así como nuestra sólida red de contactos desarrollada a lo largo de las tres últimas décadas.

Aprovechamos para comentarte que, hemos logrado un acuerdo de coexistencia con los abogados de la compañía Block, Inc., en el que SQUAREONE se comprometió a modificar el listado de servicios de su solicitud añadiendo la siguiente coletilla:

business assistance, advisory and consulting services in the field of promoting, marketing and advertising for entrepreneurship services; business management services, namely, administration of business engaged in financing businesses for entrepreneurs; commercial business management; providing business advice in the field of entrepreneurship; business consulting services in the field of entrepreneurship; commercial consultancy; business assistance, advisory and consulting services in the field of entrepreneurship; business information services; business investigations; business data analysis; none of the aforesaid being in relation to financial, payment solution, e-commerce, marketing, customer loyalty programs, customer relationship management and/or point-of-sale goods/services.

Te pedimos por favor nos indiques si sería posible incluir esta modificación al listado de servicios junto a la contestación al rechazo.

Asimismo, te pedimos nos confirmes cuanto sería el monto total por contestar al rechazo como propones y, hacer la modificación al listado de servicios según el acuerdo pactado.

Quedamos atentos a recibir tus comentarios y gracias de antemano.

Saludos,

Estimada Paula:

Servicios de “venture capital” como ser “financing, advisory, fund management, etc, se clasifican en la Clase 36. Por tanto, para tener una protección adecuada será recomendable presentar una nueva solicitud amparando dichos servicios, e invocando “uso en comercio” como base. El costo de dicha solicitud será de US$850.00, incluyendo tasas y honorarios.

Mientras tanto, podemos intentar sobrellevar el rechazo presentando argumentos disponibles para tratar de convencer al Examinador que la evidencia de uso provista hace referencia a los servicios amparados en la Clase 35, lo cual tendrá un costo de US$900.00. Alternativamente, podemos simplemente abandonar esta solicitud (US$150.00).

Quedamos atentos a recibir sus prontas instrucciones.

Saludos,

Estimado Justin,

Muchas gracias por tu respuesta. Hemos conversado nuevamente este asunto con el cliente y, en efecto, ofrecen unicamente servicios de venture capital, sin dar asistencia de soporte estatégico o consultoría y manejo a la inversión, por lo que, tomando en cuenta la página web de SquareOne y, las pruebas adicionales enviadas en nuestro correo anterior, te pedimos por favor nos indiques tu recomendación sobre cómo debe ser contestada la Acción Oficial.

Quedamos atentos a recibir tus comentarios.

Saludos cordiales,

Esitmada Paula:

Gracias por tu mensaje.

Tomamos nota del material adicional que nos hicieron llegar, el cual refuerza el hecho que la marca se usa en relación a servicios de “venture capital.” Nuevamente, si pueden obtener material que muestre el uso de la marca en relación a los servicios que la solicitud ampara, favor enviárnoslo (ej. carta membrete con la marca y que describa los servicios amparados dirigida a un cliente o potencial cliente).

De no disponer del material solicitado, habrá que responder a la Acción Oficial modificando la base a “intención de uso” (US$450.00), o presentando argumentos alegando que los servicios de “venture capital” incluyen no solo la provisión de capital sino también soporte estratégico, como ser consultoría y manejo (US$900.00).

Quedo atento a recibir sus comentarios e instrucciones antes del vencimiento.

Estimada Paula:

Siguiendo con nuestras correspondencias previas sobre el tema de referencia, lamentamos informarte que la Examinadora a cargo de la solicitud de referencia ha emitido una primera Acción Oficial. Adjuntamos a la presente copia de la notificación de la USPTO al respecto, de donde podrán acceder a la Acción Oficial.

Como verás, la Examinadora rechaza el espécimen de uso que presentamos por considerar que el mismo muestra servicios de “venture capital” y no los servicios de “business consulting” y/o “business management” que ampara la solicitud. Consideramos que la postura de la Examinadora es errónea, ya que los servicios de “venture capital” incluyen no solo la provisión de capital sino también soporte estratégico, como ser consultoría y manejo. Recomendamos presentar respuesta argumentando en contra del rechazo. Alternativamente, si el cliente dispone de evidencia de uso adicional que podamos presentar, favor proveérnosla para que podamos verificar si sería aceptable (ej. carta membrete con la marca y que describa los servicios amparados dirigida a un cliente o potencial cliente).

El plazo prorrogable para dar respuesta a dicha Acción Oficial vence el 17 de enero del 2026 y el costo por responderla será aproximadamente entre US$450.00 y US$900.00, dependiendo de si presentamos nueva evidencia de uso o intentamos argumentar en contra del rechazo.. Sin embargo, si tu cliente decide no presentar defensa, simplemente emitiremos una factura final por US$150.00 por los servicios prestados a la fecha.

Quedamos entonces a la espera de tus comentarios e instrucciones con suficiente anticipación al vencimiento arriba indicado.

Estimada Paula:

Volvemos sobre el tema de referencia para informarles que hemos recibido una carta de los abogados de la empresa Block, Inc., copia de la cual adjuntamos a la presente.

Como verán, la otra parte alega tener derechos prioritarios sobre sus marcas y considera que existe riesgo de confusión con la marca del cliente, pero están dispuestos a llegar a un arreglo pacífico si nuestro cliente se compromete a los siguientes puntos:

1.      Limitar la descripción de servicios en las solicitudes del cliente presentadas en España, Reino Unido y Estados Unidos de manera a incluir el siguiente lenguaje: “none of the aforesaid being in relation to financial, payment solution, e-commerce, marketing, customer loyalty programs, customer relationship management and/or point-of-sale goods/services;”

2.      Incluir dicha limitación en todas futuras solicitudes para la marca del cliente; y

3.      No usar usar la marca del cliente, o cualquier otra marca que incluya “SQUARE,” en relación a los servicios excluidos.

La otra parte indica haber presentado oposición en España al solo efecto de preservas los derechos de su cliente, pero que desean resolver el conflicto amigablemente, por lo que requieren que les indiquemos el acuerdo de nuestro cliente a más tardar el 14 de octubre del 2025.

Los costos a incurrir serán como sigue:

-          Preparar una opinión legal sobre el riesgo de confusión entre las marcas y las posibilidades de éxito en defender la solicitud del cliente de una oposición por MPA: Entre US$600.00 y US$900.00, dependiendo del tiempo a invertir;

-          Respuesta formal a la carta de la otra parte: US$450.00;

-          Cada ronda adicional de negociación: US$450.00;

-          Preparación de acuerdo de coexistencia (si fuere necesario): Mínimo US$1,350.00.

Si su cliente decide no responder y/o defender la solicitud, simplemente emitiremos una factura final antes de cerrar el expediente en el monto de US$150.00.

Quedo atento a recibir sus comentarios e instrucciones.

COLOR(S) CLAIMED
(If applicable) The color(s) Blue and black is/are claimed as a feature of the mark.
ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the Office Action of October 17, 2025, Applicant submits the following remarks.

Amendment to Identification of Services

Applicant has amended the specification of services in Class 35 in accordance with an agreement reached with a third party. This amendment narrows and clarifies Applicant’s services and does not broaden the scope of the application.

Description of the Mark

As requested by the Examiner, Applicant has amended the description of the mark.

The Specimen Shows use in Connection with the Identified Services as Amended

The Examiner refused the specimen indicating that it does not show use in the specific class; specifically, the Examiner argues that “the specimen submitted by the applicant shows the applied-for mark with venture capital services rather than business consulting and/or business management services…” Applicant respectfully requests that the Examiner reconsiders her position based on the following remarks.

A. The Specimen Demonstrates Business Consulting and Advisory Services

The specimen (Applicant’s website) shows the mark used in connection with services directed to entrepreneurs, founders, and management teams. Specifically, the specimen states that Applicant “works to turn ideas into economic realities,” and “adds valuable support to founders and management teams by leveraging [its] expertise… and network of contacts.”

These statements demonstrate that Applicant provides business assistance, advisory, and consulting services in the field of entrepreneurship, including “providing business advice in the field of entrepreneurship; business consulting services in the field of entrepreneurship; business assistance, advisory, and consulting services; commercial consultancy; business information services; and business data analysis.” These services are expressly reflected in the amended identification of services.

The provision of “support,” “expertise,” and “guidance” to founders and management teams, as expressly stated in the specimen, constitutes the very essence of business consulting and advisory services in the field of entrepreneurship. These services are not incidental, but are presented as part of Applicant’s core offering to entrepreneurs and their businesses.

B. The Services Are Rendered to Third Parties in Commerce

The specimen includes a call-to-action inviting entrepreneurs to engage with Applicant (e.g., submission of projects), demonstrating that Applicant offers its services directly to third-party businesses seeking support and development. This establishes that the services are rendered in commerce, as required.

The specimen shows Applicant’s provision of business advisory, consulting, and support services to entrepreneurs and management teams. These services are presented to third parties as part of Applicant’s offering, and not merely as internal or incidental activities.

C. Direct Association Is Established

The mark is prominently displayed on the specimen in connection with descriptions of Applicant’s services, including “supporting founders and management teams; providing expertise and guidance; and assisting in the development and commercialization of business ideas.” Accordingly, the specimen establishes the required direct association between the mark and the identified services, as the mark is used in connection with the promotion and offering of such services to entrepreneurs and businesses.

D. Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, the identification of services, as amended, aligns with the services shown in the specimen, and the specimen demonstrates use of the mark in commerce in connection with such services. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests that the refusal be withdrawn and that the application proceed to publication.

Final Remarks

In view of these remarks and amendments, Applicant respectfully submits that the present application is in condition for allowance and requests that Applicant's mark be approved for publication. If any further objections or questions arise, a telephone call to the undersigned attorney would be greatly appreciated to expedite this application.
