Dear Carolaine,

Following up on this matter, please be advised that, according to the most recent Official Bulletin of the Venezuelan Trademark Office, the Registrar has decided to resume the prosecution of trademark application No. 2017-015477 for SUPREMA COLOR (Logo), in int. class 3, in the name of FARMAVITA S.R.L.

In this regard, please note that such Office did not follow the correct procedural steps before issuing the refusal, as the application was denied without completing the mandatory stage of publication. Due to this procedural error, the Office overturned the refusal and ordered that the application be reinstated to the appropriate stage. This decision was published in the current Official Gazette No. 652, dated April 10, 2026 (Enclosed).

In light of the above, the application will now continue its prosecution and will be re-examined (including verification of formal requirements, such as the PoA, and description of the mark) before proceeding to publication.

We will continue to monitor this matter closely and will keep you informed of any developments.

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

Best regards,

De: Carolaine Da Silva - MEI 9 <[email-masked]>

Dear Caroline,

Thank you for your email.

Regarding your inquiry:

  *   Trademark Application No. 2017-015477 (SUPREMA COLOR) is still pending a decision on the Motion for Reconsideration filed against the ex-officio rejection in 2018.
  *   Trademark Application No. 2017-015475 (B. LIFE COLOR) remains detained by Application No. 2008-22836 (LIFE COLOR PLUS), which itself is detained by an earlier filing. We must wait until a final decision is issued on the prior applications before this one can move forward.

We will keep you informed of any developments.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Dear Lucrezia,

We acknowledge receipt with thanks of your e-mail of today.

In response to your inquiry, please be advised of the following:

Appln. No. 2017-0015477:  is still pending for decision on the Motion for Reconsideration filed against its ex-officio denial, duly ratified in 2018.

Appln. No. 2017-0015475: is still detained, on the basis of the prior existence of a prior pending application which is, in turn, detained by a prior registration (recently declared as finally lapsed by the Venezuelan Patent and Trademark Office (VPTO), due to non-renewal in due time, in addition to being subject to a Non-Use Cancellation Action). Nevertheless, as previously informed, Appln. No. 2017-0015475 will remain detained until a final decision is issued with respect to the prior pending application.

The VPTO is currently working in updating their in-house work regarding the pending cases, in order to solve the huge backlog it has been facing. However, we do not expect the issuance of the corresponding resolutions deciding these cases before, at least, the next 2 to 3 years.

At any rate, kindly note that we are keeping surveillance on these matters. Please rest assured that, as soon as any development takes place in this regard, we shall inform you immediately.

Dear Lucrezia,

We acknowledge receipt with thanks of your e-mail dated November 21, 2022.

In response to your inquiry, please be advised that the status of the trademark applications mentioned below is the following:

Appln. No. 2017-0015478: The opposition filed against this application by FARMA S.A., and which was duly replied, is still pending for decision.

Appln. No. 2017-0015477: We are still awaiting the issuance of a resolution deciding the Motion for Reconsideration filed against its ex-officio denial, and which was duly ratified in 2018.

Appln. No. 2017-0015475: its prosecution is still detained, on the basis of the prior existence of a prior pending application which is, in turn, detained by a prior registration. Therefore, Appln. No. 2017-0015475 will remain detained until a final decision is issued with respect thereto.

Please be informed that the Venezuelan Patent and Trademark Office (VPTO) is currently working in updating their in-house work regarding the pending cases, in order to solve the huge backlog it has been facing. However, we cannot foresee as to when the corresponding resolutions will be issued, as the decisions of the VPTO are beyond our control.

However, kindly note that we are keeping surveillance on these cases. Please rest assured that, as soon as any development takes place in this regard, we shall inform you immediately.
