Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 5 Popular Post Posted February 5 BANGKOK (NNT) - The issue was highlighted by the Facebook page "Luijeen," and acknowledged by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. He mentioned that this is a matter of doing business, but admitted that it is crucial to swiftly address copyright issues and protect business opportunities. He noted that the case is a lesson for future discussions. When asked whether Thailand needs to plan and increase its production base, the Prime Minister responded that it is better to first address the fundamental issues, such as understanding marketing strategies and copyright protection. He emphasized that this situation is not new in trade or business; where there is an opportunity, someone will seize it. Delaying important affairs such as registering for patents and copyrights can mean missing out. In addition, the Prime Minister stressed the need to expedite various matters, such as the visa-free policy which will attract a significant number of tourists to the country. The Prime Minister further stated that, although the copyright issue of elephant patterned pants may seem minor, it reflects the broader picture of the necessity to protect national interests.

bamnutsak Posted February 6 Posted February 6 OK, the thirst for this "Soft Power" thing has gone way too far. Just stop already with this foolish attempt to force soft power on the Kingdom, the UN, and the World. If it's culturally worthy it will become a thing. Elephant pants will never be a thing. I guess it isn't surprising that this "issue" has caught the PMs attention. He seems to leap from issue to issue in a frenzy, yacking as if he is some expert, while not accomplishing a single thing. 1 1

Popular Post khunjeff Posted February 6 Popular Post Posted February 6 I don't think the concept of "pants" can be patented - I'm fairly certain that the revolutionary idea of "clothes covering the legs" existed prior to the advent of elephant pants. Copyright? No, there's nothing written that can be given protection. Trademark? "Pictures of elephants on rayon fabric" doesn't represent any identifiable business or enterprise that I know of. If someone is stealing an exact fabric pattern, then sure, maybe you can send them a cease and desist letter (though good luck with that). But protecting the notion of loose trousers with designs involving pachyderms? Nah. 1 3

Did Thai clothing even include pants until Westerners brought them here? 1 1

Purdey Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I remember reading that thais were often naked in battle except for tattoos. Women wore skirts and went topless often. Europe needs to claim it patented trousers and blouses now. 1

Simon1287 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I used to send a few pairs of those pants back to a family member every now and then many years ago. No Thai would have been seen dead in them at that time. I once wore a pair to see what they were like out of interest and every Thai I passed looked at me like I was about to ask them for money or a free meal. They were disgusted, though in the usual disguised Thai way not wishing to offend, with the exception of a couple of girls walking together who actually stopped and looked at them in total disbelief (down in the far south somewhere I think that was). I wore a pair on another occasion with the same result. I never wore a pair again. It was exactly like the time i took a Thai to Khao San Road for a wander round back in the 90's. She was utterly horrified. "Do they wear those horrible clothes in their country?" "No" "Then why they rude to wear them in my country??" Now, in very recent years I notice many Asians (including Thai's) wearing them. How times change! Simon
