Dear Nathalie,

Thank you for your email below.

In response thereto, please be advised that no further developments have occurred herein since our last correspondence. The Venezuelan Trademark Office has not yet issued the corresponding resolutions deciding the oppositions filed by DEUTSCHE TRANSNATIONAL TRUSTEE CORPORATION INC. against your Applns. Nos. 2013-009254 and 2013-009255 for CHEF (Design).

Please note that the Trademark Office is currently working in updating their in-house work, in order to solve the huge backlog it has been facing. However, we do not expect the issuance of the resolutions deciding these cases before, at least, 1 to 2 years approximately.

Please rest assured that, as soon as any development occurs, we shall inform you immediately, as we are keeping a regular surveillance on these matters.

Best regards,
