Dear Sean,

Thank you for your email.

We have reviewed the products pretended to protect for the trademark in reference, and they are perfectly suitable for the VPTO. We have also attached the POA form that must be legally executed. It should be notarized through standard notarization procedures and legalized or authenticated with an Apostille. We will also need Certified copy of the priority document; it does not have to be legalized.

Please be advised that we are required to file the document together with the application. If we proceed without the original documents, the VPTO allows the "late filing" of the document within the next 2 months after the application is filed. Please note that late filing incurs an additional cost of US$122.00.

We strongly recommend sending the original documents by courier (DHL, UPS, or other reliable service) to our street address in Venezuela to prevent any potential loss or damage:

Avenida Francisco de Miranda
Edificio Cavendes, Piso 12,
Los Palos Grandes
Caracas 1060
Venezuela

Kindly confirm whether we should proceed without the documents or if we should await the arrival of the documents.

We look forward for your comments.

Best regards,
Guillermo
