Search efforts for the 15 missing passengers from the sunken Phoenix dive boat continue for a third day, expanding to include Phi-Phi islands and Koh Lanta.
Of the 105 passengers and crew, 49 were rescued, 41 confirmed dead, and 15 remain missing, with one victim still trapped inside the vessel.
Application for ‘Nene Royal’ trademark withdrawn
Yesterday 18:24Key points summarised by AI
A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.
Black Lotus Global LLC, managing Nene Royal's rights, has legitimate trademark applications for various categories under fast-track processing, with final approval anticipated by February 2027.
The Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) monitors international trademark filings to protect Thai creators and advises early registration to prevent unauthorized third-party claims, noting a "NENE" trademark already registered in South Korea.
