As the slogan “OK Boomer” has gained remarkable attention in the mainstream beyond Generation Z, someone has applied for the Trademark Registration of “OK Boomer” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
TikTok, the incredibly popular video-sharing app, has emerged as a launchpad for various viral memes and internet trends, including “OK Boomer” to diss the older generation. Someone is attempting to capitalize on this latest internet meme spawned from Generation Z by filing a Trademark Application to get it registered with the USPTO.
Teens have been using the phrase “OK Boomer” to push fun at old generations for being and remaining out-of-touch and controlled it as a rallying cry over the internet, especially TikTok. The slogan has obtained attention in the mainstream – thanks to articles – in news outlets, encompassing profile from the New York Times’ Taylor Lorenz.
Hence, the fact that people are finding ways to extract profit from the popularity of the slogan or phrase beyond framing social media content or receiving laughs out of their friends should not come as a surprise.
The application filed on 31st October 2019 with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) shows that someone is trying to turn “OK Boomer” into a Registered Trademark. The $275 application, which aims to trademark “sweaters, shirts, accessories, and shorts,” appeared sporting the two-word slogan.
The person behind the recent trademark application isn’t the only individual or first one with the idea of getting merchandise “OK Boomer” registered. A 19-year-old girl, Shannon O’Connor, recently announced that she has been marketing hoodies and shirts with “OK Boomer” in style similar to the font on the plastic shopping bags, which read “thank you.” She further continued by saying that since promoting her Bonfire merchandise on TikTok, the girl had made around $25,000 in sales. Indeed, not just Shannon but many other sellers have also been using the phrase “OK Boomer” to sell buttons and stickers for iPhone cases and coffee mugs.
Indeed, the latest filing with the USPTO is just a trademark application, and in general, the process of obtaining Trademark Protection for anything by officially registering it takes more than a year. Besides, considering that “OK Boomer” has already seemed on merchandise and in the current culture, it is a bit unclear how successful the trademark application would prove.
A case that could provide an idea regarding the “OK Boomer” trademark potential is Lebron James’ recent endeavor to trademark the two-word phrase – “Taco Tuesday.” The USPTO rejected the basketball star’s trademark application stating that the phrase is a “commonplace term, expression, or message” used widely by several sources that convey a familiar and well-recognized sentiment or concept. ✅  For view-source: https://bit.ly/2s505dr

IBFAN-ICDC LEGAL UPDATE June - December 2018
Tumblr media
  IBFAN-ICDC LEGAL UPDATE
June – December 2018
Topics highlighted in this issue:
IBFAN ASIA AND IBFAN-ICDC LAUNCH REPORT ON THE MONITORING OF THE CODE IN 11 COUNTIRES OF ASIA
INFLUX OF BABY FOOD SUPPLIES SWAMPED CENTRAL SULAWESI EMERGENCY CAMPS IN INDONESIA
ICDC CONSULTANTS IN TIMOR LESTE TO PROMOTE CODE IMPLEMENTATION
SPECIAL OFFER ON IBFAN-ICDC REPORT ON NESTLE’S CODE VIOLATIONS TO COMMEMORATE THE RELEASE OF TIGERS
MONGOLIA: LEADING THE WAY IN CODE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE EAST ASIA REGION
ICDC JOINED HANDS WITH IBFAN-GIFA AND IBFAN AFRIQUE TO BUILD CAPACITY ON CODE IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING IN FRANCOPHONE AFRICA
ICDC RETURNS TO MYANMAR
IBFAN-ICDC RELEASES FACT SHEET FOR BFHI AND THE CODE TO CELEBRATE AUGUST – THE MONTH OF WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK
IBFAN-ICDC RELEASES CODE ESSENTIALS 3& 4 (2ND EDITION) TO HELP EFFECTIVE CODE IMPLEMENTATION
IBFAN Asia and IBFAN-ICDC launch Report on the Monitoring of the Code in 11 countries of Asia: Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand
Tumblr media
IBFAN Asia supported monitors in the 11 countries and coordinated with IBFAN-ICDC on a regional Code monitoring exercise, putting their skills to use. Coached by IBFAN Asia and IBFAN-ICDC, monitors embarked on a yearlong monitoring project since its conception in October 2017, with a focus on labelling and promotional activities on the online portals. IBFAN Asia and IBFAN-ICDC jointly compiled the country reports into a regional report, which highlights trends and themes companies are using to violate and circumvent the International Code. Especially blatant are the use of claims on labels to mislead the public about their products, and the blurring of selling vs. promoting on the internet. These health and nutritional claims have become prime marketing tools. Presented as complex scientific formulations, they appear in the form of trademark logos, mascots or benefit icons to create a premium market. Often companies also compare these additives with properties in breastmilk. Examples of such in this report include those found in China (Danone and Wyeth), India (Nestle), Indonesia (Wyeth), Mongolia (Danone), Nepal (Danone), Republic of Korea (Pasteur), Sri Lanka (Nestle), and Thailand (Danone and Wyeth). In the Philippines, the bottle and teat companies are blatantly disregarding the Code and national law. As with online marketing portals which should only act as internet storefronts to sell, findings show that promotional activities are rampant.
In the report, there is a brief introduction of each country’s Code implementation situation, followed by summarised findings of violations and brief analysis. The report ends with suggestions for the way forward to strengthen various aspects of implementation in order to curb inappropriate marketing.

Influx of baby food supplies swamped Central Sulawesi emergency camps in Indonesia

The care and feeding of infants and young children are compromised in emergency situations, which often lead to high rates of disease and death. On September 28th 2018, a 7.4 SR earthquake hit Sulawesi Province in Indonesia, followed by a 3-6 meter tsunami which devastated the coastal area of Palu. Approximately 2 million people have been affected by this disaster, of those, there were 2087 recorded deaths, 1,084 people missing, 211,000 internally displaced people (IDP), 4,400 people sustained major injuries and 68,000 homes were damaged. In such circumstances, emphasis should be on protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding and ensuring timely, safe and appropriate complementary feeding (exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and continued breastfeeding with nutritionally adequate and safe complementary feeding starting from 6 months up to 2 years of age or beyond). The International Code (and relevant WHA resolutions) which protect optimal infant and young child feeding are especially relevant, and should be complied with in the context of emergency situations. However, reports from IBU Foundation revealed that there was large influx of donated formula milk products and complementary foods in the IDP camps in Central Sulawesi.
Reports as such also point to the bigger picture of how emergencies and crisis situations are often exploited to provide unsolicited supplies in the form of charitable donations or discounted products. Not only are these convenient avenues to promote a goodwill image to the public, these supplies and donations – whether low-cost, free, unsolicited or solicited – create dependence on the products and thus a potential market. And in some cases, donations are made with good intentions but donors and recipients are unaware of the harm such donations can do.

Mongolia: Leading the way in Code implementation in the East Asia region
Tumblr media
All ready to put the Law to work at the end of the 3-day training
ICDC’s Legal Advisor, Yeong Joo Kean and Programme Manager, Constance Ching were in Mongolia from 22 to 26 October 2018 for a UNICEF mission to provide consultation and training to government officials on the enforcement of the Infant and Young Child Food Act (IYCF Act). Mongolia adopted the IYCF Act in 2017 based on findings and recommendations of a 2015 survey conducted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) with support of UNICEF. Prior to that, Mongolia adopted the National Law on Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes to give effect to the Code in 2005, on which ICDC Legal Advisor also provided technical support. The new and improved IYCF Act is stronger than the previous law, and includes almost all provisions of the Code. In some areas, such as labelling and sponsorship, Mongolian provisions are stronger. Since Mongolia is the first country in East Asia to adopt a comprehensive Law that gives effect to the International Code – consultants felt considerably hopeful that the law will be enforced, thus encouraged officials to inform ICDC of any changes in marketing activities as a result of enforcement.

Watches or wrist-based wearable that offer heart-rate monitoring, no doubt, have a quite similar look to their mechanical or analog counterparts. Around all of these gadgets have familiar wrist bands, watch faces, and even the internal components like a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor that makes the heart-rate measurement or other operations possible in these devices. PPG sensor, being one of the most vital and complex elements, often face a lot of challenges in detecting the heart-rate accurately. Although a bit frustrating, these challenges can be taken care of by the appropriate Industrial Design (ID) of the wearable. Here, in this article, we’ll discuss the hurdles the wearable devices usually face. Besides, the content will highlight how the wrist-based wearable being Industrial by Design can contribute to correct heart-rate monitoring.
What Challenges does Wrist-based Wearable Often Face?
One of the main challenges a PPG sensor in wearable devices commonly faces is that during activities like running, it apart from detecting heart-rate also senses the motion-related blood volume changes take place in the wrist as the wrist-based wearable press the skin and deform the blood vessels under it. Due to this, the PPG sensor senses and mix up the ratings of the blood-volume change and the reflected light-intensity change as it stems from cardiac origins as well as motion.
Another thing that creates confusion in heart-rate detection through PPG is LED scattering. What is the case? When there’s a repetitive arm motion at the time of activities such as running, poorly designed wearable allow an air gap between the human skin and the photodiode, which may cause scattering. Repetitive scattering can further degrade a cardiac-related PPG component from the spectrum, thus making it quite difficult to distinguish the needed cardiac signal.
How to Resolve the Issues/challenges Related to PPG Sensor, i.e., Wrist-based Wearable?
The appropriate industrial design of wrist-based wearable is the most essential, or we can say the foremost factor that needs to be emphasized for achieving accurate heart-rate monitoring results by overcoming all challenges. Let’s go through an example encompassing two spectrograms – one from a watch with an optimized ID and another from a poorly designed watch. These spectrograms are the results of PPG and synchronized accelerometer signals collected during slow walking and treadmill running. Now, as the PPG signal depends on both heart-rate induced pattern and motion-related pattern, the spectrogram of a well-designed wrist-worn watch based on the optimal industrial design will show the precise spectral density of the PPG sensor and accelerometer. Heart-rate frequencies are not just clearly visible during all epochs, no matter whether the person is walking or running, but also easily separable from motion frequencies. However, in the second case, the spectrogram of the PPG signal showcases an invisible or faded heart-rate. Moreover, if the user wears the inappropriately designed watches too tightly, these wearable press blood beds under the skin and the blood perfusion gets decreased to a large extent. It ultimately smears the distinction between heart-rate related readings and thus, generates difficulty in separating heart-rate frequencies from motion frequencies.
Now, as per this example, we can conclude that it is essential to design the wearable appropriately. There is a need to optimize the mesa height and area to minimize the motion effect and allow the blood flow to fluctuate. For achieving this goal, one has to optimize the mesa dimensions along with the components’ weight within the watch case. Some characteristics of ID that we should consider to design apt wearable are as follows:
1.     Mesa (uplifted well that keeps the photodiode sensor in contact with the skin)
In industrial design, the curvature and height of mesa, which is a raised well housing the optical photodiode in close contact with the skin, play a vital role in minimizing light entering into the photodiode sensor. Hence, it is significant to go for industrial design that upkeeps good skin contact and lowers down the effects of ambient light sources. Light sources like Sun and others are strong enough to wipe away the PPG signal or add alternative intensity of light resulted from arm motion to the photodiode sensor.
 2.     Wristband Considerations
The tactile quality of the wristband, along with the materials used to make it, are crucial factors that Industrial Designers or component designers must consider while designing the wrist-based wearable. Fabric impregnated with elastic components would cause friction amid the wrist and the band, hampering rotation of the watch around the wrist. On the other hand, a snuggly fit elastic band would maintain the consistent distance between the skins and watch mesa decreasing the effect of motion artifacts. Ideally, a wearable watch should stay on the spot where blood perfuses well, and the distance amid it and the optics should be maintained on the precise optical path.
Summary
Providing accurate heart-rate monitoring from the wrist-based wearable isn’t an easy feat as the heart-rate signal of interest often gets corrupted either by arm or hand motion. Such motion-related issues are non-linear and arduous to cancel out. Besides, the frequency domain computation is expensive in a power-stingy wearable platform. Therefore, it is imperative to address and remove the challenges at the Industrial Product Design stage in a way to attain accurate heart-rate detection from wrist-based wearable even in the presence of motion. ✅ For view source: https://bit.ly/33a7i8S

The government of India recently has simplified the rules for patents filed by women, small entities, and government agencies, and also incentivized Indian firms to file patents abroad.
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has notified the additional rules to amend the Patents Rules, 2003. It has also expedited the examination of patents if the applicant is a small entity, startup, or an institution established by a Provincial, Central, or State Act, which is controlled or owned by the government as well as the institutions that are wholly or substantially financed by the government.
A maestro on the Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) revealed that they have focused on expediting the examination of patents to encourage creativity in startups, small companies, and women. He further added that this step would help the nation’s government to commercialize its patents by charging a royalty.
Besides, the government has incentivized Indian firms to file patents abroad. It has done this by putting an end to the fees required as payment for the electronic international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and the transmission through the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), created in 1967 to foster creative activities and promote the protection of Intellectual Property (IP) throughout the world.
The department has also floated draft guidelines for the protection of IPRs in academic institutions, including schools, colleges, universities, etc. As per these guidelines, the patent rights would rest with an educational institution if a student, faculty member, or researcher therein has used the resources and funds associated with it for developing a useful product.
This move by the government and legal authorities is expected to benefit the companies, women, entrepreneurs, and all those who are facing challenging times and stiff competition in today’s highly competitive market. Although it would take Indians sometime to plan their way according to the new amendments in filing a Patent Application to obtain Patent Protection within the nation and abroad, they will soon welcome new opportunities and benefits.

TRADEMARK PROTECTION IN MALDIVES
• There is no statutory trademark law in Maldives dealing with the mechanism of trademark registration. In practice, the resident companies, nationals of Maldives, and foreign applicants can obtain trademark protection, as mentioned below. • The resident companies and nationals of Maldives can file an in-person trademark application with the Ministry of Economic Development to obtain trademark protection. However, before going ahead with trademark registration, they must obtain business name registration. • The foreign applicants are required to publish a TM cautionary notice in the local newspaper in both English and in the vernacular, which is Dhivehi, thereby cautioning the public and trade about the ownership of the trademark. • Trademark renewal involves the publication of the TM cautionary notice in the local newspaper after every 03 years; however, it is highly advisable to publish the registered trademark every year if the owner is willing to establish the use of the mark in Maldives.
COPYRIGHT PROTECTION IN MALDIVES
• The Copyright and Related Rights Act (passed in October 2010 and became effective in April 2011) deals with the mechanism of copyright protection in Maldives. • Parties don't need to register their copyright to obtain protection under the Copyright and Related Rights Act. However, the Act allows the parties to get their works registered with the allocated government authority if they wish to do so. An application can be filed in-person with the Ministry of Economic Development. If approved, an official copyright registration certificate is issued. • The standard copyright protection term lasts for the lifetime of the author plus fifty (50) years following his death. However, the duration of copyright protection varies depending on the type of work.
*NOTE - In Maldives, there is no patent and industrial design protection available due to the absence of their corresponding laws. For more info, you may write to us at [email protected].
