As an IP nerd, I love this.
AP’s trademark loss means they lost the moat around their octagonal bezel and tapisserie dial.
So what did they do? License the crown jewels to Swatch for a flood of legit affordable “Royal Pop” pieces.
A masterclass in damage control.
Everyone thinks the AP x Swatch "Royal Pop" dropping May 16 is just AP chasing MoonSwatch hype.
Maybe. But the timing is interesting.
AP just lost trademark fights in Japan (2024) and the US (2025). The courts ruled the octagonal bezel and tapisserie dial aren't "distinctive enough" to legally own.
Translation: knockoffs are coming, and AP can't really stop them.
So is it a coincidence that AP's now teaming with the one brand that can flood the market with a million "official" Royal Oak-shaped watches before the fakes do?
Maybe Swatch is actually defending brand.

This was in March 2024. At the summit of his power, President Ruto did not listen to anyone. He took advice from no one. He was a man on a quest to become a political god.
Two months later, in June 2024, protests happened and put a stop on the metamorphosis of Ruto from human to all powerful.
Today, Ruto begs and pleads. Indeed, power submits to a higher power. The people remained supreme.

You can’t cancel this man.
He never belonged to you guys.
Ye had 80,000 people singing "Heartless" with him at SoFi Stadium 🤯
"That's what 80,000 people sound like ladies and gentlemen... they said I'd never be back in the states. Two sold-out concerts."

Miringa, a Kenyan boy creating a ‘People’s IEBC’ to prevent any form of rigging, has come up with a way for Kenyans to beat the government at its own game if it tries to switch off the internet!

Ant Edwards. President Barack Obama.
It began at Team USA Training camp and turned into a game of one-on-one we didn’t know we needed.

In 2023, local investors forced the CDSC to drop a proposed KES 100 monthly account fee.
Now, the CDSC is bracing for another fight with a proposed increase in its transaction levy to 0.12% from 0.08%.
Fees should be moving lower, not higher & this deserves firm pushback.

Local investors fought off a CDSC plan to roll out a new KES 100 monthly maintenance fee on all investor accounts.
In the end, the CDSC carved in and stopped the fee:

Glad that you've brought this up. We need a #resist campaign. Is it the Ziidi effect that's whetting their appetite?

You need to convince dozens of different border agents in different languages across the world to achieve that.
The effort is impressive
