Dear Jasmine,

Further to our previous communications, we hereby inform you that we have recently been notified of the decision issued by the Bolivian TMO regarding the appeal filed by the applicant of the trademark application MIAMI VICE in class 13 int.

By means of this decision, the authority upheld the revocation appeal filed by the opposing party and, as a result:

  *   Our opposition was dismissed; and
  *   The trademark MIAMI VICE has been granted registration in Class 13.

The Trademark Office based its decision on the principle of specialty, considering that the audiovisual work MIAMI VICE is exclusively associated with police-related activities, weapons, and action scenes. Consequently, the authority concluded that there is no competitive connection or likelihood of association with the goods covered in Class 13 and that the registration would not affect the copyright ownership of UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS, INC.

However, we strongly disagree with the reasoning adopted by the authority. In our view, the decision is based on a restrictive and subjective interpretation of the scope of copyright protection.

In particular:

  *   The authority improperly limits protection to the thematic content of the work, without considering that copyright protection covers the audiovisual work as a whole, including its name, identity, reputation, and commercial value.
  *   Unlike trademarks, copyright is not confined to specific classes of goods and protects against unauthorized association, dilution, or unfair advantage.
  *   The decision fails to assess key elements such as the international recognition of MIAMI VICE, its market positioning, and the real risk of consumer association.

Given the well-known and iconic nature of MIAMI VICE, we consider that the likelihood of association remains significant and that the decision does not properly weigh the rights involved.

In light of the above, we recommend filing a hierarchical appeal, so that the case may be reviewed by a higher authority with a broader and more consistent legal analysis. Based on our assessment, the chances of success may be estimated at approximately 60%.

The deadline to file the appeal is May 25, 2026, and the costs of filing the appeal are:

  *   Professional fees and expenses: USD 1280

Please let us know your instructions at your earliest convenience.

Kind regards,

Dear Jasmine,

We hope you are doing well.

We inform you that we have been notified regarding the appeal filed by the applicant in the MIAMI VICE (Class 13) opposition proceeding.

According to the notification, the applicant argues that:

  *   The mere coincidence between the title of the audiovisual work MIAMI VICE and the applied-for mark is not sufficient on its own to justify refusing registration

  *   They claim that an actual and concrete harm to the copyright holder must be proven, rather than relying on an abstract presumption.

  *   They contend that the Trademark Office failed to assess whether, in the context of Class 13 goods, there is any real risk of association or exploitation of the reputation of the work.

We consider that the initial decision issued by the Bolivian TMO was well‑founded and that there is indeed a real—not merely theoretical—impact on the copyrighted work.

Based on this, we strongly suggest fling a response to the appeal, highlighting the following arguments:

  *   The goods in Class 13—particularly collectible items, themed merchandising, and accessories with aesthetic or symbolic connotations—can create, for the average consumer, a direct association with the imagery, style, and narrative of MIAMI VICE, an iconic work whose recognition extends well beyond its original broadcast in the 1980s.

  *   The work continues to be rebroadcast across multiple platforms and thematic channels, maintaining both cultural and commercial relevance.

  *   The term MIAMI VICE has acquired a strong and well‑established distinctive and reputational value within the cultural and entertainment sectors, which reinforces the likelihood of confusion or unfair advantage when applied to tangible products that evoke its aesthetic and thematic universe.

The deadline to file the response to the appeal is 12 February 2026 and the cost for preparing and filing the response, is USD 1180 (fees and expenses)

We remain at your service for any questions or further clarifications and to receiving your instructions as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Paula

Dear Jasmine,

We hope you are well. We inform you that the Bolivian TMO has issued a decision (attached) regarding the opposition filed against the trademark application MIAMI VICE in class 13, filed by Badabing Importaciones S.R.L.

The Office decided to uphold the opposition and, consequently, reject the trademark application, based on NBC Universal’s prior copyright and the well‑known title of the show.

To this decision, the applicant filed a reconsideration appeal before the TMO on December 3rd, 2025. Now, we must wait until the office issues a new decision regarding this matter.

As soon as we have further news to report, we will inform you accordingly.

Please let us know if you have any comment or doubt.

Best regards.

Paula

Hi Paula,

Hopefully these copyright certificates attach properly, there’s 16 of them. Will this be sufficient for the opposition?
I’ve attached 3 copyright certificates for each Season of the TV Series MIAMI VICE.  (Seasons 1-5)
We have quite a few more, let me know if you think more copies would be beneficial.

Dear Jasmine,

We hope this email finds you well. Please find below our comments regarding this matter:

It is possible to file an opposition against the trademark application for MIAMI VICE in class 13 Int., based on a prohibition contained in the Bolivian IP laws for trademarks that infringe industrial property rights or copyrights without consent of the owner.

If we claim that the application infringes NBCUniversal’s copyrights over the series MIAMI VICE, we must demonstrate this ownership with the pertinent documentation. Additionally, it would be advisable to contextualize the potential connection between Class 13 products and the series to strengthen this argument.

Furthermore, it may be argued that the trademark application is misleading, as the term Miami clearly refers to a city in the United States. This could affect consumer perception regarding the origin of the products, especially considering that the applicant is a Bolivian national and that products of this nature, fireworks and sparklers, typically originate from China.

We estimate that the chances of success in this case are moderate (55%). Although there is identity with the title of the television series, it is necessary to convincingly demonstrate that these products evoke not only the name of the series but also its content and characteristics, which requires solid argumentation and supporting evidence.

Proof of copyright ownership must be submitted no later than 30 business days after the opposition deadline, that is, by November 11, 2025. The documentation must be apostilled and accompanied by a certified translation, as well sent to the Office in Bolivia.

The cost of filing the opposition is

  *   Professional and official fees: USD 1200 + VAT
  *   Expenses: USD 80

The deadline, as indicated in your previous email is September 30, 2025.

We remain attentive to any comment or doubt regarding this matter.
