Dear Kristi,

Thank you very much for your message.

With respect to the USPTO priority documents, it is necessary for us to have the original document. At present, the Venezuelan Trademark Office only accepts digital priority documents from a limited number of trademark offices, such as the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). We are optimistic that this practice will be expanded more broadly in the future.

For the time being, we remain pending receipt of the original priority document. Please rest assured that we will continue to monitor the situation closely and will keep you informed of any updates or developments.

We also look forward to advising you once the official deadline has been set.

Kind regards,

Thanks very much José. This helps a lot. We will keep monitoring the status of the priority document and will keep you informed. Can you please confirm whether a scanned copy is acceptable or if the original must be in hand to meet the deadline?

In the meantime we look forward to hearing from you when the official deadline is set.

Dear Kristi,

Thank you very much for your message. I would like to clarify that March 30 is not a definitive deadline for submitting the pending documents. We refer to that date only as an approximate guideline based on our experience.

The official deadline is actually set 30 days after the VPTO issues an Office Action. Importantly, any such Office Action must first be published in the corresponding Official Gazette. These gazettes are typically issued around the middle of each month.

For example, if an Office Action were to be published in the Gazette issued this week, the resulting deadline would fall around end‑April.

Please rest assured that we will keep you fully informed of any developments regarding your trademark matters, including the issuance of any Office Actions or relevant notifications from the VPTO.

I hope this helps clarify how the actual deadlines are calculated. Please feel free to reach out if you need any further details.

Kind regards,

Dear Jose,

Thank you kindly for your email below. Regarding the certified priority document, please note that we have not yet received it and there are severe delays in processing at the USPTO. We note that it is recommended to submit it within 2 months of filing (e.g., March 30) to avoid an office action. Can you please confirm the March 30 date is not final, and advise how far out an office action would set a final deadline?

Kind regards,
Kristi

Dear Kristi,

We hope you are doing well.

We are pleased to inform you that we have now received the original Power of Attorney. The document has already been sent for translation by a local sworn translator. Once the translation is completed, we will proceed with its registration before the Trademark Office and subsequently associate it with your trademark applications.

We will keep you informed as the process advances.

Products list: Printing ink products, namely, printing inks and coatings.

We have enclosed scanned copies of the trademark application filing sheets, which have been duly stamped by the VPTO, for your records, and we will provide you with further updates as soon as they become available.

Please note that we are awaiting the Power of Attorney to confirm our representation, as well as the certified copy of the priority document No. 99/315,730 (legalization is not required for this document). As you already know, when applications are filed without original documents, the VPTO permits delayed submission within the 60 days following the filing date. Timely submission will help prevent an office action, we recommend filing the documents before March 30, 2026.

Finally, you will receive the corresponding invoice in a separate email.

If you require further information or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are always available to assist you.

Hi Kristi,

Please note that only one extension is available, for a maximum term of three (3) months.

As instructed, we will proceed with the filings in the name of the U.S. applicant, INX International Ink Co., in order to preserve the priority claim.

Regarding letters of consent, under Venezuelan practice they are not formally binding. However, in recent years the Trademark Office has begun to apply a more flexible criterion and has started accepting them in certain cases. While this is not guaranteed, a letter of consent may be used as a last-resort argument. We have been successful with this approach in a couple of cases last year.

Please let us know if you need any additional clarification.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Regarding the ownership, to keep the priority claim please file in the name of the US applicant, INX International Ink Co. Please also advise if a letter of consent would be sufficient to permit the concurrent registration of these marks.

Hi Kristi,

Thank you for your email.

As a general recommendation, we suggest filing the power of attorney and the certified copy approximately two months after the applications are filed. This timing is an approximation based on practice before the Venezuelan Trademark Office.

After that two-month period, the likelihood of receiving an Office Action requesting the missing documents increases. If such an Office Action is issued, the Trademark Office will grant a term of 30 working days to submit the documents. Should the documents not be available within that term, it is possible to request an extension.

Please let us know if you need any further clarification.

Finally, due to the priority deadline, please let us know how you would like to proceed regarding the ownership of the trademarks to be filed, no later than tomorrow morning.

Best regards,

Guillermo

Please also note that the USPTO is currently taking 10-12 weeks to fulfill certified copy orders. Please advise whether any deadline for such is extendible, and if not, what options are available to keep the priority date.

Dear Kristi,

Following up on Jose’s email.

We have reviewed the trademark portfolio and note that the existing trademarks are registered in the name of THE INX GROUP LTD. This may represent an obstacle for the new trademark applications. In this context, we see two possible alternatives:

  1.  File the new trademark applications in the name of THE INX GROUP LTD and then proceed to unify the ownership (we already hold a power of attorney).

  1.  File the applications in the name of the new owner, INX INTERNATIONAL INK CO., and then proceed with the corresponding ownership changes.

We look forward to your comments.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Dear Kristi,

Thank you for your message.

We confirm that one certified copy of the priority certificate will be sufficient for the three trademark applications.

Regarding the Power of Attorney, it is required. For your convenience we are transmitting herewith our Power of Attorney form. The Power of Attorney must be legally executed, it has to be notarized under standard notarization and legalized or authenticated with Apostille. The POA must be granted to the specific attorneys mentioned therein, not to the firm name Bolet & Terrero.

We recommend that original documents be sent by courier (DHL, UPS or other) to our street address in Venezuela, and not by regular mail, in order to avoid any loss or damage.

Dear Kristi,

Thank you for your email.

We have review the goods and they are perfectly suitable to the VPTO, please be informed that we are required to file the document jointly with the application. In case we proceed without the originals, the VPTO accepts the “late filing” of the document within the next 2 months after application is filed. The late filing has an extra cost of US$ 122.00

We recommend that original documents be sent by courier (DHL, UPS, or other) to our street address in Venezuela, not by regular mail, to avoid any loss or damage.

Avenida Francisco de Miranda

Edificio Cavendes, Piso 12,

We are proceeding without the original document in order to preserve the priority date, and we will get back to you as soon as the filing particulars are available.
