Dear Lynda,

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. 2018-003231 for HAIR BURST, in int. class 5, in the name of HAIR BURST LIMITED.

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 Official Gazette No. 651, dated March 10, 2026 (Enclosed).

In light of this, 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: AL Leeds Team 3 <[email-masked]>

Dear Lynda,

Thank you for your email. Please find attached the decision issued by the VPTO back in 2018 and a digital copy of the motion for reconsideration against the rejection filed by our firm.

The office has been issuing decisions for the pending appeals in chronological order since 2024; however, we cannot estimate how long it will take to have a decision.

Rest assured that as soon as we have further notice, we will inform you in due time.

Please let us know if you require further information.

Best regards,
Paula
