Are olfactory/scent marks registrable in India? We might get an answer to this question from the Registry soon (maybe in a year or two!). Recently, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. filed for an olfactory #trademark described as “floral fragrance/ smell reminiscent of roses as applied to tyres” Head over to SpicyIP for my analysis of the application.

*Latest Update On BIS Implementation from 3 October 2023* BIS Implementation on PE, EVA to Come Into Force on 3 Oct 2023: BIS Website The official website of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) carries that the mandate of BIS implementation on PE (Moulding and Extrusion grades) and EVA Copolymer exports to India will come into force on 3 Oct 2023. That means, foreign suppliers of the R/Ms will have to adhere to the BIS norms to render themselves eligible to export to India. And it is a measure of the GoI to ensure the country’s importers receive quality R/M for manufacturing finished products. As per the information received, many overseas producers have upgraded their production facilities to conform to the BIS requirements. However, not all of the foreign producers have attained the upgrade. So, there is a possibility of reduced import availability in India market post the implementation.#polyethylene #eva #plasticsindustry

A TSURUMI PUMP dewatering pump survived a drop test from a height of 7m.The test was carried out by the pump manufacturer in the run-up to the IFAT worldwide trade fair in Germany. Firstly, a universal pump of the type HS2.4S was dropped from a height of seven metres. The pump only suffered cosmetic damage. A test with an LB480 showed similar results. In this case, however, the lower casing was slightly deformed at the point of impact. #pumpstests  #pumptesting #droptest 🌊 🔎 Discover more https://lnkd.in/dUWUpRQz #Aqua_energy_expo_magazine

Whenever users in industry want to pump large quantities of highly viscous media, they run the risk of altering the quality and integrity of the pumped liquids. Lutz Pumpen GmbH has developed the solution to this problem. Its new TR series wobble plate pumps enable the sensitive pumping of up to 30,000 litres of highly viscous liquids per hour. This new development will be on display at ACHEMA 2024 (hall 8, stand K86), the world’s leading trade fair for the process industry, held in Frankfurt am Main from 10 to 14 June 2024. “The new TR series wobble plate pumps from Lutz Pumpen offer a high-performance solution for industrial applications in which high flow rates at high viscosity pose a challenge,” says Heinz Lutz, Managing Director at Lutz Holding GmbH.  https://lnkd.in/eJytjGZC #businessworld #digitalnews #globalnews #news #onlinenews #internationalnews #businessleaders #newsupdates #newsoftheday #businessbuilding #latestnews #subscribe #follow #businessfocus

There's quality in standards.

Malaysia pioneered the production of raw rubber and intermediate goods, but its upstream production declined after the 1970s. In contrast, raw rubber production sharply expanded in Thailand, surpassing MY in both production and export by the early 1990s. In MY, local manufacturing firms entered the export market of rubber products in the 1980s mainly as OEM for foreign customers. In the next decades, some of the local firms achieved key technological innovations in downstream activities and became market leaders in rubber products such as disposable medical gloves. In contrast, TH’s downstream was dominated by foreign tire makers. Only recently has TH seen the emergence of young innovative entrepreneurs who attempt to emulate the success of their Malaysian counterparts. From the late 20th century, moreover, raised the demand for medical examination gloves and condoms. The world’s NR consumption increased from 5.4 million tons in 1993, to 8.7 million tons in 2005, to 12.15 million tons in 2015. Whereas MY was the world’s largest producer and exporter of NR for much of the 20th century, it was only the sixth in 2015. In contrast, * TH is now the largest, followed by Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and India * In 2015, NR exports from TH and MY were valued at $4,977 million and $871 million, respectively. Since 2011, the NR export value has actually declined significantly following the decrease in the international price. However, the export quantity increased in TH, which indicates that the demand for NR continues to be solid. Furthermore, MY and TH have seen the development of rubber-based manufacturing industries. MY even succeeded in manufacturing high value-added products. TH’s export value of NR exceeded MY’s by the end of the 1990s. Different from MY, however, Thai rubber manufacturing has been led by the tire industry, in which large foreign firms are dominant. #RubberIndustry
