MIAMI, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — In most countries and geographical regions, government health agencies review brand names composed of Latin characters (the letters of the English alphabet). Pharmaceutical manufacturers will submit brand name proposals to a health agency for review, and that agency will assess those names for similarity to existing brand names in that country or region. If a name is too similar to another name based on that agency’s guidelines, the proposed brand name may be rejected.
“In Japan, the brand name review process is much different,” said Sanae Suga, Brand Institute’s Vice President of Creative Nomenclature. English brand names are transliterated into katakana, a component of the Japanese writing system. The katakana transliteration is meant to match the English pronunciation of the Latin rendering. The transliterated name is then screened through a program run by the Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center (JAPIC) to compare the name against other katakana names.
The JAPIC’s program places significant emphasis on prefix similarity. If the prefix of a proposed katakana name is identical to the prefix of an approved katakana name, the new name is likely to be rejected by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), a regulatory agency comparable to the US FDA. “Brand Institute has a proprietary program that that mimics the JAPIC’s program to help our clients with their Japanese regulatory submissions.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House on Tuesday expressed outrage on Tuesday at Exxon Mobil Corp's record net profit in 2022 of $56 billion, a historical high not just for the company but for the entire Western oil industry. Oil majors are expected to break their own annual records due to high prices and soaring demand, pushing their combined take to near $200 billion. The scale has brought renewed criticism of the oil industry and sparked calls for more countries to levy windfall profit taxes on the companies.

Tesla plans to step up output at its Shanghai plant over the next two months to meet demand ignited by aggressive price cuts on its best-selling models, according to a planning memo seen by Reuters and a person with knowledge of the plan. The automaker plans to produce a weekly average of nearly 20,000 units at its Shanghai factory in February and March, according to the memo, which detailed output plans for Tesla's most productive and profitable manufacturing hub. That level of production would take the plant's output to roughly its rate in September, when it turned out 82,088 Model 3 and Model Y cars, according to data from China Passenger Car Association.

This week, sportswear giant Nike filed a lawsuit accusing lululemon of infringing on its patents in the shoe line that the Vancouver-based activewear company launched last spring. After years of selling exclusively clothing, accessories and the odd yoga mat, lululemon expanded into the world of footwear with a running shoe it dubbed Blissfeel last March. According to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court, certain knitted elements, webbing and tubular structures are too similar to ones that had been used by Nike earlier.

Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) has seen its share price tumble 70% since peaking in late 2021, dragged down by a combination of slowing growth and weak guidance, both of which can be traced back to the challenging economy.

Shopify saw revenue growth slow to 25% over the past year, a shocking deceleration from 71% revenue growth in the previous year.
