Dear Laura,
Thank you very much for your email.
Regarding your inquiry, please be advised that the status of this case remains unchanged and is still pending a final decision from the Trademark Office.
Indeed, the Trademark Office has accumulated a significant backlog of decisions over many years; however, they are currently catching up on many cases. They are prioritizing appeals and oppositions that are legally more straightforward before moving on to cases with a higher level of complexity, such as this one. Since they are resolving cases in a specific order, we must continue to wait a bit longer.
In any event, we can take this case to the authorities to discuss it and attempt to expedite its resolution.
Best regards,

From: "Moreland Fernandez,Laura,CH-Vevey" <[email-masked]>

Dear colleagues,

We are contacting you regarding a non-use cancellation handled by our previous agents in Venezuela. Please find the details hereafter:

  *   our agent informed us that on 28 July 2011 a third party had filed a cancellation for non-use against our SVELTY trademark application no. 11196 1986 in class 29, when the mark was not even registered. We were unable to determine who filed the brief because the IPO wouldn’t issue a copy
  *   since a non-use cancellation can only be filed against a registered trademark, our agent presumed that the IPO would dismiss this action
  *   we followed up on this matter over the years and the last time we checked the status of this case was in 2021, when the agent informed us that there was a huge backlog in the registry and that we shouldn’t expect a decision to be rendered in less than 3-5 years.

Could you kindly check whether a decision has been issued for this case? In the negative, could we contact the IPO to request that a decision be issued (considering it has been pending for almost 15 years)?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you and kind regards,

Laura Moreland Fernández
