Hi Mariateresa,

We were forwarded your correspondence from our NBCU colleagues. Please note that because this mark is now owned by Versant Media, LLC, all correspondence regarding any Versant-owned marks should be addressed to me, as well as Alli Pawlenty and Dianne Tibbs Johnson (copied here) from Coates IP.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are disappointed that a longstanding registration for one of our core bands was allowed to lapse, but we appreciate you letting us know that you will handle the new filing. Please proceed to file a new application at no cost to us and let me know if there are any necessary documents needed to file. Thank you.

Please confirm receipt of our instructions.

All the best,

Yazmín Curiel-Ruth (she/her)

Importance: High

Dear Jasmine,

We hope you are doing well.

We are writing regarding the renewal of the SYFY trademark in Class 9 (Reg. No. P302358). After a thorough review and update of our internal records, we confirmed that the renewal filing you instructed us to proceed with was not completed, and as a result the registration lapsed due to non-renewal.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for this mistake. We fully understand how sensitive this is, and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience and concern it may cause. Protecting your trademark portfolio is a priority for us, and in this case we did not meet the standard you rightly expect from Bolet & Terrero.

Immediate corrective action (at our expense):

To mitigate the impact and secure protection again as quickly as possible, we are proceeding to file a new application for SYFY in Class 9, in the name of VERSANT MEDIA LLC., covering the following goods: Downloadable television programs and motion pictures; pre-recorded DVDs and videos featuring television programs, motion pictures and audio and video entertainment; downloadable games, interactive games, and video games for use on electronic and mobile devices; downloadable ring tones; downloadable graphics.

Also, if you would like to add any goods to this list and/or update the trademark image (logo), please let us know as soon as possible so we can proceed accordingly before filing.

This new filing will be entirely at our firm’s cost (professional fees, official fees, and related expenses for the filing). Our team is treating this matter as high priority to ensure prompt filing and close follow-up at the Trademark Office, and we will keep you updated as soon as the application is filed and we receive the official confirmation/filing details.

In parallel, we are implementing internal measures to prevent a situation like this from happening again.

If you would like to discuss this in more detail, I am fully available at your convenience. Again, please accept my sincere apologies, and thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
