13 Sept 06:03Key points summarised by AI
Elon Musk visited Tham Luang cave, leaving behind a 'Wild Boar' mini-sub prototype, made from rocket parts, for potential future use in the rescue efforts.
His direct involvement and offer of assistance, including a widely viewed Instagram video of the flooded cave, garnered significant praise from both Thai and international audiences.
Application for ‘Nene Royal’ trademark withdrawn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A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.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.
