Dear Felipe,

Thank you for your email.

We confirm safe receipt of your email and the attached spreadsheet.

Thank you as well for the additional information regarding Dyson’s apparent presence in Venezuela through social media, including the identified resellers and Grupo Nofa. This information will be very useful for our analysis and for supporting the arguments in the matter.

We will await the link in due course.

Dear Guillermo,

I believe my last e-mail couldn’t be received by you and your colleagues due to its size. Please refer to it as there are important comments that were made.

Furthermore, please find attached the mentioned spreadsheet, as it is not that sizeable.

We are working on a link to be shared so you can access both the certificates and the social media images (Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook).

Finally, while searching the social media profiles for our client, I was able to find some content on TikTok indicating the presence for Dyson products in Venezuela, including some resellers and Grupo Nofa:

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxymnq3y/ (revendedora)
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxyuJVcm/ (grupo nofa)
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxyu8Cn8/ (vicam - revendedora)

Please confirm receipt of this message and the contents of the e-mail below. I will be reverting to you shortly with the mentioned link.

Dear Guillermo,

Thank you for your e-mail below.

As for information on the DYSON marks, we have received a list of all registrations for the mark “DYSON” owned by the client, stylized and word, as per the spreadsheet attached. Accompanying said list there is also a zipped folder containing the registration certificates for these marks. Inside the zipped folder you can find a distinction between the marks (word/word + design) and between South America and the rest of the globe.

It can also be observed that the stylized mark registered by the client is the same as the third-party’s application, should that fuel any arguments.

The client is also compiling information from their local South American teams regarding sales figures, advertising and promotional materials, details on market presence, awards and recognition, press coverage, and social media activity. They believe it will approximately 2-3 weeks to gather all relevant info.

Thus, please let us know if we can indicate in the opposition that such information/evidence will be complemented on a later filing. From our side, we will try and compile screenshots regarding their social media presence in the continent, as they have specific Instagram profiles for Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Chile, to aid on the initial petition.

Furthermore, we still haven’t received information regarding the potential priority on the new filing(s) and will follow-up on this before the final deadline.

Finally, the PoA is being executed and we should be able to send it to your offices next week.

We kindly ask that you confirm receipt of the attachments and content of this e-mail.

Felipe

Dear Felipe,

Thank you for your email.

We confirm that we are proceeding with the preparation of the opposition brief in order to meet the upcoming deadline.
In the meantime, it would be very helpful to confirm whether the client has any priority rights or prior filings, as this information may also be used as an additional argument in support of the oppositions.

Likewise, any information supporting the well-known status or reputation of the trademark would be useful at this stage, even in simple copy form for the time being. This may include, for example, trademark registrations in other jurisdictions, evidence of international use, sales figures, advertising and promotional materials, market presence, awards or recognitions, press coverage, social media presence, prior enforcement actions, or any other materials showing consumer recognition of the mark.

This evidence may need to be further supplemented or formalized later, including through affidavits if necessary. However, any relevant information available now would assist us in sustaining the notoriety/reputation argument in the opposition briefs.

We will await the scanned copy of the executed PoA and the DHL tracking number in due course.

We have also taken note of the new reference number for future correspondence and invoicing related to this matter.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Finally, please consider the new reference number adopted going forward and for future invoicing relating to the opposition.

Subject: RES: Venezuela - Opposition to be presented against third-party application for DYSON (Diah Mohamed Abdalla + Potential filings for DYSON mark - Daniel Ref.: 1533258

Hello, Guillermo,

We’re already back with additional questions and directions.

Firstly, the client has confirmed their interest in proceeding with the filing of the opposition against the subject mark. In this sense, it is our understanding you’ll need a PoA to proceed, please send us a draft for it with the required details and let us know what formal requirements are needed (notarization, apostille, etc.). (attached)

The  Power of Attorney must be legally executed; it has to be notarized under standard notarization and legalized or authenticated with Apostille.

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

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

Considering the relatively tight deadline, is it possible to do a late filing of the PoA for the opposition in case it is not possible to finalize it? If so, what are the costs involved? Yes, we will not charge for the late filing fees for this case, taking into account our good and long-standing relation, and volume of work.

Furthermore, Dyson is also keen on filing their mark in Venezuela, specifically in classes 03, 07, 08, 09, 11, and 21. We kindly ask that you confirm the costs with proceeding with these filings (per class) and if you are able to accommodate a discount in case the client proceeds with all six of them. We haven’t received confirmation regarding the potential priority but please also consider this possibility with the costs to be informed.

The estimated costs (fix amounts) for trademark applications for one class through the registration, are the following:

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR TRADEMARK APPLICATIONS AT THE STAGE OF FILING

Services
Official Fees and Admin Expenses
Professional  Fees (*)
Total Fees

Trademark Application word or design marks including compulsory search and Publication.
US$ 227.00
US$ 450.00
US$ 677.00

Trademark Application composite marks including 2 compulsory search and Publication.
US$ 270.00
US$ 450.00
US$ 720.00

ESTIMATE COSTS INCURRED UP TO THE ISSUANCE  OF THE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE

Services
Official Fees and Admin Expenses
Professional Fees
Total Fees

Registration fees, registration certificate, preparation and issuance, taxes and disbursements.
US$ 255.00
US$ 200.00
US$ 455.00

                                                                                                                                    (*)   Rates do not include TAXES (16%)

Additional expenses such as couriers and translation of documents are not included in this amount. Each translated page is of US$ 22 plus taxes.

Note that only one application per class can be filed, since in Venezuela multiple class applications are not permitted.

If you want to file a design or composite mark, we need a sample of the logo by e-mail (in format JPG and good resolution).

There is no additional cost for claiming priority.

Other services as status, consults, reports related to applications or trademarks, are free of charge, it is part of our services.

The time frame for registration is 9 months approx. (if no opposition is filed against the trademark).

After the application is filed, a digital copy of the filing receipt will be sent to you.

Finally, we are willing to offer a 20% discount in our professional fees at the filing stage of the six trademarks.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Felipe

Assunto: Re: Venezuela - Conflict check - Watch notice received from client - Daniel Ref.: 1533258

Dear Felipe,

Thank you for your email and for the additional background.

Based on the information provided, we would recommend filing an opposition. We assess the chances of success as moderate, approximately 55%, subject to the quality of the evidence available to support Dyson’s reputation and well-known status.

The case is strong because the third-party filing appears to reproduce the DYSON mark and visual identity, covers Class 11 goods directly connected with Dyson’s business, and creates a clear risk of confusion and association. We would also rely heavily on bad faith, parasitic conduct, and the reputation/well-known status of the DYSON mark.

That said, the notoriety argument must be properly evidenced. We would therefore need supporting materials, including trademark registrations worldwide, sales figures, advertising materials, market presence, online presence, retailer/distributor information, media references, and any evidence of sales or exposure in Latin America and, if available, Venezuela.

Although a local application is not required to oppose, we would strongly recommend filing a fresh DYSON application in Venezuela immediately. This would strengthen the client’s position and provide a local basis of protection going forward. Please also confirm whether Dyson has filed this mark in any other jurisdiction within the last six months, as we may still be able to claim priority in Venezuela (prior to March 02, 2026)

Our estimated cost for filing the opposition is as follows:

Professional fees:                                 US$ 900.00 plus 16% VAT
Official fees and disbursements:            US$ 60.00
The notoriety claim will be key to win this opposition, and we recommend to elaborate and affidavit with the after mentioned information, and file it as a complementary brief within the next (2 months after filing the opposition). In case you agree, we can discuss the cost.

Please also note that if the other party failed  to reply the opposition, it will be automatically dismissed, in this sense, we can wait until they filed a response in order to determine and consider to file the affidavit and further evidence.

At this stage, we would not recommend escalating to additional enforcement measures. Please note that, in Venezuela, IP rights are secured through registration; therefore, absent a local registration, we would not have strong grounds to enforce the mark at this time. We must focus our efforts in avoiding the registration first.

In short, our recommendation is to oppose the application and file Dyson’s own application in Venezuela without delay.

We look forward to your thoughts and comments.

Best regards,
Guillermo

Subject: RES: Venezuela - Conflict check - Watch notice received from client - Daniel Ref.: 1533258

Dear Guillermo,

Thank you for your response and confirmation regarding the conflict. As mentioned previously, please find further information on the case below.

Our clients, Dyson, contacted us with information on the publication of the mark detailed below. In this sense, we wish to know our chances of success in proceeding with an opposition against it or other enforcement measures that can be taken against the third-party and their mark.

Reported

Class

App. No.

App. Date

Opposition Deadline

Owner Reported

Please confirm

Diah Mohamed Abdalla

ovens, refrigerators, freezers, extractor hoods, microwaves, pressure cookers, air conditioners, heating equipment, fans, electric clothes dryers, air dryers, hair dryers, fryers, electric coffee makers, electric filter coffee makers, bread toasters, coffee roasters, hair dryers, toasters.

The client doesn’t have applications or registrations in Venezuela, however, they hold active registrations for class 11 in other South American countries, such as: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Peru, Bolivia (published application). This is not counting the other registrations around the globe, as Dyson is a well-established brand in the hair grooming segment.

When talking initially with Dyson, they have commented that they wish to oppose the cited third-party mark based on DYSON’s well known status in the region. Their products, particularly the ones highlighted on the application’s specification, are actively being sold through retailers, distributors, and Dyson local websites<https://www.dysonoficial.com.br/>, throughout South America.

Furthermore, it is clear that the application filed by Mr. Abdalla is a direct copy of Dyson’s mark and visual identity:

Dyson’s logo

Third-Party’s filing

Considering the identity between signs, the class in which the third-party filed, and the fame/notoriety of Dyson, what would be the best course of action?

Notwithstanding, relating to the assessment, please refer to the following points:

  *   The chances of success (percentage wise) in acting against mark DYSON, by opposing it.
  *   What would be our main arguments to sustain the opposition.
  *   The costs associated with the opposition proceedings (filing it, evidential phase [if applicable], etc.)
  *   Is it necessary to file an application to proceed with the opposition? If so, please let us know the costs associated with it.
  *   Are you able to gather any information on the owner?
  *   Do you recommend proceeding with other enforcement measures in this case? If so, which ones and what are the associated costs.

We are assuming this initial evaluation would be provided free of charge, but please do let us know if that’s not the case, since we do not have authorization to incur in costs at this time.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Felipe
