Dear Katie and Sara,

Following our previous email. We have reviewed this matter and inform you that:

We have included all trademarks in the report in order to incorporate them into our docket.

Please note that several trademarks in the report appear to be recorded under the name of SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT INC.; for these cases, we have added a specific column for your reference. In addition, we identified two further trademarks owned by SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT INC. through a prior search in the VPTO database.

Please note that it is not necessary to appoint us as representatives. By including these matters in our docket, we will be able to monitor any notices published in the Official Gazette.

Regarding renewals, we understand that these matters will be handled by a specific vendor and that, provided the agent of record holds a valid Power of Attorney, they should be able to proceed accordingly.

That said, we would be pleased to be considered for handling the renewal work in Venezuela. Based on our experience before the Venezuelan Trademark Office, consolidating prosecution, maintenance, and portfolio oversight with local counsel can help ensure consistency, avoid unnecessary errors, and allow for a more strategic management of the portfolio. If helpful, we would be happy to review the current fee arrangement and adapt our pricing to remain competitive with the vendor presently handling these matters.

For our firm to act on behalf of SIEI, a Power of Attorney would be required—please find attached our standard PoA form for your reference. That said, as previously mentioned, under Venezuelan practice it is not necessary to formally appoint local counsel as representatives before the VPTO.

Finally, please note that the VPTO only issues digital registration certificates. These are not required for filing renewals, assignments, or enforcement actions; providing the registration number, the name of the owner, and a valid Power of Attorney is sufficient.

We remain attentive to any comment or doubt you may have.

Best regards,

Guillermo

Dear Colleagues,

We are writing to confirm the status of trademark matters in Venezuela for our mutual client, Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. As your firm is the designated preferred counsel in Venezuela, we would appreciate your assistance with the following:
1.      Confirm whether all matters listed in the attached report are currently on your docket; and
2.      Confirm whether Bolet & Terrero is formally recorded as counsel of record for these matters before the Venezuela Trademark Office.

For any matters that are not presently on your docket, kindly provide:
·       An estimate of the costs associated with assuming responsibility for the matters; and
·       Details of any documents or formalities required to effect the transfer.

Please note that all renewals will continue to be handled directly by the client’s renewal vendor. However, the client would nevertheless like to appoint your firm as counsel of record in the event that any cancellation action or other adverse proceeding arises in the interim. With this in mind, we would appreciate your guidance on the following points, as the client would like to better understand any potential financial implications where new Powers of Attorney may be required following renewals:
1.      Is it necessary for renewals to be filed by the registered agent of record?
2.      If the renewal vendor files a renewal using its own Power of Attorney, would your firm be able to rely on the existing Power of Attorney (if applicable) to re-record itself as agent, or would a newly executed document be required?

In addition, could you please advise whether original trademark registration certificates are required in Venezuela for renewals, assignments, enforcement actions, or any other purpose? If originals are required, we would be grateful if you could also confirm:
3.      Whether certified copies of the certificates would be acceptable;
4.      If so, whether these copies may be obtained from the Trademark Office; and
5.      An estimate of costs and of turnaround time to order and obtain the certified copies.

Thank you in advance for your response and we look forward to your response.

Best,

Katie
