Dear Linda,

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. 2017-015296 for BB-12, in int. class 5, in the name of Chr. HANSEN A/S.

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: Trademarks Bolet & Terrero <[email-masked]>

Dear Linda,

We acknowledge receipt with thanks of your email dated July 20, 2023.

In response thereto, please be advised that no further developments have occurred herein since our last correspondence. We are currently awaiting the issuance of a resolution deciding the Motion for Reconsideration filed against the ex-officio denial of Appln. No. 2017-015296 for BB-12, and which was duly ratified in 2019.

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 do not expect the issuance of a resolution deciding this case before, at least, the next 2 to 3 years.
At any rate, kindly note that we are keeping surveillance on this matter. Please rest assured that, as soon as any development takes place in this regard, we shall inform you immediately.

Best regards,
