Attached is The Sopranos logo. We’ll get back to you on how we want to go forward with the Cinemax issue.

Hi Tom,

I hope you are doing well.

I just wanted to follow up on this matter and check whether you have any updates or comments from your side. As well as the SOPRANOS logo in good resolution.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your email.

Further to our review, please note the following comments:

  1.  Do you happen to have a high-resolution version of the THE SOPRANOS logo mark? When the original application was filed, the filing was made in paper format, so the image available in the file is only a scanned copy. This would be a good opportunity to file the mark with a better-quality image.

  1.  Application No. 1993-020958 for CINEMAX, in International Class 38, currently in the name of TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P., does not appear to have been assigned before the Venezuelan Trademark Office. If appropriate, we can prepare the required assignment document for recordal.

  1.  We recommend filing a formal withdrawal of the CINEMAX GO logo application, No. 2014-008656. This in order to avoid any conflict or detention caused by a TM is not of your interest.

  1.  We will revert with the filing particulars as soon as they become available.

We look forward to your thoughts and comments.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Asunto: RE: HBO Venezuela Trademark Updates

Thank you for the updates. We have some actions we would like to take on these marks.

With the CINEMARK GO (Logo) application (2014-008656), we can let that one go. Please take no further action on that application. For the Time Warner Ent. CINEMAX application, is there any record of an assignment recordation being filed in Venezuela in early 2003 to assign ownership of this one from Time Warner Entertainment Company LP to Warner Communications Inc. and then from Warner Communications Inc. to Home Box Office, Inc.?

For the other three, we’d like you to refile for the two GAME OF THRONES marks and for THE SOPRANOS (LOGO). Please file for the marks in the same classes and for the same goods, with Home Box Office Inc. the owner of the marks

Mark                    cl        our billing ref#

GAME OF THRONES          25        TM36213

Thank you for your help with these. Please let us know if you have any questions, or of you need any documents for the filings.

Best,

Tom

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your email below.

In response thereto, please be advised of the following:

Appln. No. 2014-008656 for CINEMAX GO (Logo), in the name of HOME BOX OFFICE, INC.: is currently detained on the basis of the prior existence of Appln. No. 1993-020958 for CINEMAX, in int. class 38, in the name of TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P., which is, in turn, detained by Appln. No. 1991-001630 for CINEMAX, in local class 24, in the name of FRANCESCO LIBERTO CORDARO, which is currently lapsed, due to lack of publication.

Please note that, for the Venezuelan Trademark Office, HOME BOX OFFICE, INC. and TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. are considered different companies, even if they belong to the same corporate group.

In light of the above, and in case that you are still interested in registering Appln. No. 1993-020958 for CINEMAX, in the name of TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P., it would be necessary to unify the ownership to HOME BOX OFFICE, INC. For this purpose, we would need that you inform us as to how the change of ownership occurred (Assignment, Merger, Name Change), so that we can provide you with the corresponding requirements, costs and documentation.

 Applns. Nos. 2017-007033 and 2017-007034 for GAME OF THRONES: are currently lapsed, due to lack of payment of the final granting fees, pursuant to your abandonment instructions dated May 21, 2019 (copy enclosed for your easy reference).

Appln. No. 2005-020124 (Reg. No. S043725) for THE SOPRANOS (LOGO): is currently lapsed, due to lack of renewal in due time, pursuant to your October 2, 2024 instructions to take no action on your trademark renewals (copy enclosed).

Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In the meantime, we shall be awaiting your comments and further instructions related to Appln. No. 1993-020958, in order to proceed accordingly.

Best regards,
