Today 18:24 Key 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A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.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.
