This is not a case of revenge, but of collaboration.
Under the assumption of infringement of CMO PRODUCCIONES S.A.S.’ copyrights (the producer of the Colombian soap opera LA VENGANZA DE ANALÍA) the Trademark Office denied the registration of the trademark LA VENGANZA DE ANALÍA + GRAPHIC requested by our client CARACOL TELEVISIÓN S.A.
What the Trademark Office overlooked was the fact that our client and the production company CMO PRODUCCIONES S.A.S., were never enemies or counterparties, but, on the contrary, and as an act of collaboration, the producer created said soap opera for our client.
Therefore, since the beginning our client held the economic rights (Copyrights) over LA VENGANZA DE ANALÍA, fact which was key in the appeal filed by our client to obtain the registration of the trademark and was certified by the producer, who recognized that there was no copyright infringement concerning the soap opera.
Consequently, the Delegate Superintendent for Industrial Property resolved the appeal in favor of our client CARACOL TELEVISIÓN S.A. and granted the registration of the trademark LA VENGANZA DE ANALÍA + GRAPHIC.
