Woman Claims to Have Registered 'NENE ROYAL' Trademark for Rattikan Amloy Amid Online Confusion

Key summary

A Facebook user identified as "Auntie Nu" stated she registered the trademark "NENE ROYAL" in Thailand and intended to gift the rights to Rattikan Amloy, known professionally as Nene Royal. The singer, a native of Phuket who recently won America's Got Talent, is the subject of this claim. In a post dated 28 September, Auntie Nu shared what she described as a trademark application, framing it as a gift to support the young singer's career growth in Thailand and globally. She referred to herself as "Auntie Nu" and expressed a desire for Nene Royal to build a business under that brand. On 17 October at 12:29, she posted again, stating she had discussed ownership with Jon Elron, whom she described as a foreigner who previously helped another young girl named Praew. She reported that Elron agreed the trademark should belong directly to Rattikan Amloy's family. The woman mentioned consulting the Department of Intellectual Property regarding intellectual property value. However, online commenters questioned her ability to register the mark and her relationship with the singer. When asked if she registered it on Nene's behalf, she replied "Yes, to protect her" but declined to answer questions about their personal connection. A commenter noted that trademark ownership belongs to the registrant and that using someone else's name without permission may not meet registration requirements, suggesting Nene or an authorized representative could file an objection.
