Dear Pamela,

Thank you for your email. Regarding the ongoing matter, we are pleased to inform you that we have been notified of the decision issued by the Colombian TMO:
The TMO has decided to cancel registration No. 628096 in Class 30, as the owner failed to provide evidence of the mark's use in the market. Please find attached the corresponding Resolution for your immediate reference.
The next stage is to monitor whether the owner of the cancelled trademark files an appeal against this first-instance decision. The deadline to comply with this appeal will expire next June 1st, 2026.
However, since the owner did not respond to the initial cancellation action, it is highly probable that they will not file an appeal either.
We will keep you closely informed of any further developments.
Best regards,
Paula

Dear Colleagues,

We hope this email finds you well. Please find attached the results of the investigation of use for the trademark CRUMBLE owned by Santiago Muñoz Ramirez in Colombia.

From the investigation, we determined that there is not sufficient evidence of use in the market, according to the established in the Colombian IP Laws and the Andean Community IP regulations, therefore, we consider that the chances of success in pursuing a Cancellation Action for Non-Use are medium-high (75%).

Please note that the submission of this action has a direct impact on the chances of success of the appeal filed against the rejection of the TM application CRUMBL, and it is necessary to suspend the procedure before the IP Office. Therefore, we recommend proceeding with the cancellation action as soon as possible.

We remain attentive to your comments and instructions regarding this matter and, our full report for the appeal will follow shortly.

Best regards,

Paula

Dear  Catherine

We hope this email finds you well.

Regarding the referenced trademark application, we have been notified of a Notice of Official Rejection issued by the Colombian Trademark Office. The refusal is based on the existence of a prior trademark registration, which we were aware could potentially pose an obstacle:

Mark

Owner

Reg. No.

Class

Expiry date

SANTIAGO MUÑOZ RAMIREZ

628096

Class 30: custards [baked desserts]; chocolate desserts; frozen fruit desserts [parfaits]; puddings [desserts]; milk chocolate [beverage]; dulce de leche; ice milk; ice milk on a stick or bar; milk-based porridge for food purposes; cornmeal porridge with water or milk [hominy]; rice pudding; milk-based coffee beverages; milk-based chocolate beverages; milk cocoa; milk coffee; milk chocolate.

September 24th, 2029

We consider that there are two possible courses of action:

  1.  File an appeal against the decision.
  2.  Initiate a non-use cancellation action against the cited trademark, as preliminary investigations suggest that it may not be currently in use in commerce.

The appeal could be supported by the following arguments:

  *   The term in question is a generic word, and the trademark application specifically claims the stylized version “CRUMBL,” which is distinguishable from the existing registration.
  *   It is common to find trademarks in the market that include the term “CRUMBL” to identify goods and services related to desserts and food products.
  *   The CRUMBL brand is well-known in the market and has been successfully registered in other jurisdictions, including the United States and Venezuela.

Additionally, to strengthen the appeal, we recommend filing a non-use cancellation action against the cited trademark CRUMBLE. Based on a preliminary investigation, we found an Instagram account (@somoscrumble) associated with the mark that has not shown any activity since last year and appears to lack other contact channels. Therefore, we suggest conducting a formal use investigation to better assess the chances of success for the cancellation action.

The deadline to file the appeal will expire next September 19th, 2025.

The associated costs are:

Conducting a formal investigation to determine use of a mark:

  *   Professional fees: USD 600
  *   Expenses: USD 50

Filing an appeal before the Colombian TM Office:

  *   Professional fees: USD 850
  *   Expenses: USD 50

Filing a Non-Use Cancellation Action:

  *   Professional fees: USD 700
  *   Official fees: USD 600
  *   Expenses: USD 50

Please let us know how you wish to proceed or if you would like us to assist with the next steps.

Looking forward to hearing from you before the deadline of September 19th, 2025

Best regards,

Guillermo

Dear Catherine,

Thank you for your email.

We believe there should be no impediment to the acceptance of the proposed amendments to the product list. However, it is important to note that if the Colombian Trademark Office disagrees with the modifications and declares the application abandoned, there is a mechanism to address this. Specifically, it would be possible to appeal the decision and adjust the list to include products explicitly mentioned in the Nice Classification, thereby aligning it more closely with the office’s expectations.

As for engaging directly with the examiner, it is not standard practice to have conversations with them during this stage of the process. But as we mentioned, we are of the opinion that the list is clear and should not be rejected.

Please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Thank you Paula,

I don’t understand.  Are you saying if we submit with the proposed amendments the Colombian Trademark Office could decide not to accept them and reject the entire application as a result?  Is there no additional opportunity to address further issues?  Surely there must be a way to identify new products without risking the entire application.  Is it possible to have a conversation with the examiner to see if they understand what the products are and would be inclined to accept them?

Please let me know as soon as you can.

Dear Catherine,

Thank you for your email. We were reviewing this matter and inform you that the included products are not precisely described in the WIPO's Nice Classification, which is the instrument used by the Colombian Trademark Office for examining product listings.

However, we consider that these products fall within international class 30, and in the submitted proposal, we are not adding products but rather detailing them. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the office may reject the list and declare the application as abandoned.

We remain attentive in case you have further comments our doubts.

  2.  The terms “éclair, cannoli, kolaches and s´mores” are not described in the class 30 according to the Nice Classification, therefore, the Office is requesting to specify or eliminate these products from the list.

Subject: RE: CRUMBL Trademark in Venezuela

Hello Guillermo,

We have now received instructions from the client.  They want to move ahead with filing applications to register CRUMBL in Venezuela and Colombia.  Please let me know if you are able to handle the applications in Colombia.

Please base the applications on the following US filing and registration (copies of which are attached):

  *   Ser. No. 98/564,061 – please claim priority back to May 22, 2024 based on this
  *   Reg. No. 5,910,669
  *   Reg. No.  7,025,453

The client also wants to have the investigation undertaken to discover who is behind the stores.

Please let us know what you need to get started on these.

Best regards,

Catherine

Subject: Re: CRUMBL Trademark in Venezuela

Dear Catherina,

Thank you for your email.

Please note that in Venezuela, trademark rights are granted solely through registration, not by use. Therefore, we recommend the following steps:

1. File a new trademark application as soon as possible.

2. Initiate an investigation to identify those behind the stores in question.

3. Send a first C&D letter with a friendly approach, as we do not yet hold any rights. After filing the trademark, request that they cease using the trademark and change their name.

4. Once the trademark is registered, we can consider sending a more aggressive letter and reserve future legal actions if necessary.

Finally, please also note that we have discover they are also opening in Colombia according to their Tik-Tok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrXhTWBR/<https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/07UNCNk5oVcWwAXLSRspCylzFY/>

We look forward to your thoughts and comments.

Best regards,

Guillermo

Dear Catherine,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Guillermo López, and I am an attorney at Bolet & Terrero in Venezuela. I wanted to bring an important matter to your attention. We have discovered accounts on TikTok and Instagram promoting a “CRUMBL COOKIES” establishment located in a prominent mall in Caracas, Venezuela. Attached, you will find photos for your reference.

Additionally, we have noted that the trademark "Crumbl" is not currently registered in Venezuela.

Please let us know if you require any further information or assistance.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Guillermo
