Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members enter the United States through automatic kiosks at select airports.

At airports, program members proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingerprints on the scanner for fingerprint verification and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.

Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment.

While Global Entry’s goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may still be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program’s terms and conditions will result in the appropriate enforcement action and termination of the traveler’s membership privileges.

Global Dossieris a set of business services that provides IP stakeholders free, secure, one-stop access to the dossier information of all applications that comprise a family and that have been filed in participating IP offices. It represents a significant move towards technical harmonization by enabling the exchange of patent information between foreign patent offices, patent examiners, and the public worldwide.

February 2018: Enhancements to Citation List: New quick view panel to display abstract and classification for each reference. Addition of relevancy data (relevancy indication, claims, and relevant sections) for each reference (when available).

September 18, 2017: Beta release of the Citation List:The Citation List, as part of the USPTO’s ongoing efforts to enhance Global Dossier, is a service that provides a comprehensive listing of relevant citations that are in related applications that share a common priority claim.

February 10, 2017: Enhancements to Global Dossier: Links to foreign patent publications via PatentScope are provided. Users can also view enriched citation data, when available. Further enhancements have also been made to provide additional functionality to Global Dossier.

Global Dossier is delivered by IP5, the five largest intellectual property offices in the world, namely the USPTO, the European Patent Office (EPO), Japan Patent Office (JPO), Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), and the National Intellectual Property Administration, PRC (CNIPA). Information in Global Dossier is also available from additional countries through WIPO CASE,including Canada, Australia, and Israel.

The information available via Global Dossier includes search and examination results. USPTO examiners received access to the dossier information of participating offices as part of the Patent End to End (PE2E) rollout beginning in the spring of 2015. This provides access for users to typically hard to find relevant prior art (especially from Asian offices) early in the examination process. Such information allows examiners to build on the results from the participating offices to help strengthen the patent record as well as assist in improving overall examination quality.

Global Dossier was released to the public in November 2015, providing stakeholders with the ability to access the full file history information on a patent application family from the IP5 offices. In addition to providing the ability to track and manage related applications across the five offices, it lowers translation costs, and in the future, will make it more efficient and less costly to perform basic administrative functions.

In fiscal year (FY) 2019, the number of accesses to the Global Dossier services exceeded the total number of accesses in 2018 with over 102,000 average daily public accesses and over 13, 000 average daily USPTO examiner accesses. These numbers, however, do not represent individual users of the platform but rather the number of different application data requests made to the platforms.

A Global Dossier Task Force was created to ensure that the services developed align with the needs of all stakeholders. It is made up of the IP5 offices, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and IP5 Industry Groups: American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO), Business Europe (BE), Japan Intellectual Property Association (JIPA), Korea Intellectual Property Association (KINPA), and Patent Protection Association of China (PPAC).

In January 2015, the first Global Dossier Task Force meeting took place in Suzhou, China, where IP5 Industry identified five short-term priorities for the offices to explore. There was an agreement among the IP5 that each office would define the scope of a particular topic identified by industry groups as short-term priorities:Inter-Office document exchange – sharing of application data between offices, e.g. prior art exchanges, supporting documents, bibliographic data updates, etc.

The ultimate goal of Global Dossier is to allow for facilitation of preplanned cross-filings; one-portal management of cross-filed applications; elimination of the need to file duplicate documents in multiple offices (e.g., priority documents, prior art citations, etc.); and, other functions allowing for greater stakeholder involvement in application management.

The automotive industry is in the midst one of the most disruptive periods in its history, transitioning from the use of internal combustion engines (ICE) to electrified vehicle (EV) platforms. DSV’s Greg Slawson, Senior Vice President and Global Vertical Lead of Automotive, was interviewed by IAG Cargo about the shift and the implications for the automotive industry and its specialised supply chains.

TOKYO, May 20 (Reuters) - Japan"s Konica Minolta Holdings Incsaid a recent strong recovery in demand for its high-tech film used in LCD panels is likely to boost its annual earnings, although it has no plan to increase its outlook now. Robust flat TV sales in China, spurred by the government"s stimulus package, and the completion of panel inventory adjustments have created fresh LCD panel demand, which has led to brisk orders for its LCD film, Konica Minolta Senior Executive Officer Shoei Yamana told the Reuters Global Technology Summit in Tokyo.

Its triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film, which protects the polarisation plate used in LCD panels, had been an engine of growth for Konica Minolta until global LCD TV demand slowed last year due to the economic downturn.

“Adjustment of bloated panel inventory has pretty much run its course and now panel makers are boosting production to meet strong demand from China. We are experiencing a knock-on effect from all this,” Yamana said.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens were expected to slowly fade and die, giving way to lighter, thinner and tougher organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels in everything from smartphones to televisions.A man watches Sharp"s television sets at an electronic shop in Tokyo in this March 19, 2012 file photo.

But LCD is refusing to go quietly as its picture quality keeps getting better. At the same time, the major backers of credit card-thin OLED panels - led by Samsung Electronics Coand LG Electronics Inc- are struggling to make the technology cheap enough to mass produce. The two South Korean firms this year showcased 55-inch (140 cm) OLED TVs, but priced at around $10,000 (6,220 pounds) - 10 times that of an LCD equivalent - they have yet to reach store shelves.

OLED displays, used on Samsung’s Galaxy S and Note smartphones, have been touted as the future display model to replace LCDs across the consumer electronics spectrum - from TVs to computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones. OLED is more energy efficient and offers higher contrast images than LCD, and is so thin that future mobile devices will be unbreakable, and will be able to be folded or rolled up like a newspaper.

But OLED panel makers such as Samsung Display and LG Displayhave yet to address major manufacturing challenges to lower costs to compete against LCD panels.

At the same time, LCD panels, which are used on 9 of every 10 television sets, are still evolving and show no sign of giving way in this latest battle to set the global standard - less than a decade since LCD effectively killed off plasma screens.

“OLED still has a long way to go to become a mainstream display, as it has to become bigger and improve picture quality,” said Chung Won-seok, an analyst at HI Investment & Securities. “The use of OLEDs will continue to be confined to small displays at least for the next 2-3 years. Its usage as a mainstream TV panel is only likely in 2014, but even then there’s a possibility of intense competition with LCD TVs as that technology keeps improving.”

Far from fading, LCD panels now offer better picture quality - up to four times better than OLED - and use less power, creating robust demand from smartphone and tablet makers.

As has often been the case, Apple Incmoved the goalposts by upgrading the display resolution for its iPhone and iPad, still the high-end LCD market"s gold standard, prompting rivals to upgrade their display panel qualifications. Analysts at Macquarie predict Apple will adopt high-resolution screens for the MacBook Air and iMac monitor next year, accelerating the industry"s shift to high-resolution displays.

"The pixel war is an absolute bonanza for LCD makers," said Kim Byung-ki, analyst at Kiwoom Securities. "Manufacturers from LG Display to Samsung, Sharp Corp, AU Optronics Corpand Chimei (Innolux)all will gradually convert their traditional lines into more high-end product fabs, and that will curtail supply and boost profitability."

These higher-resolution panels cost more than double the commodity-type LCD screens, boosting panel producers’ profits. Even Samsung, the standard bearer for OLED panels and also a major LCD manufacturer, is actively promoting LCD screens for tablets and laptops over OLED, said a person familiar with the matter, who was not authorised to talk to the media so didn’t want to be named.

Both Sony and LG Electronics now sell ultra HD (high definition) LCD sets that boast four times the picture quality of HD TVs. The two firms, which are selling 84-inch TVs, aim to reduce that size to cater for more popular smaller sets.

To squeeze more pixels per inch, panel makers are upgrading their thin-film transistor (TFT) panel production facilities to new IGZO or LTPS processing technologies that require almost twice as many processing steps and which suffer higher faulty product rates and lost output.

Japan’s Sharp is the frontrunner in IGZO technology, which uses indium gallium zinc oxide instead of amorphous silicon, in panel manufacturing. LG Display, a major supplier to Apple, is investing 1.2 trillion won ($1.1 billion) by end-2013 in its production of low-temperature poly silicon (LTPS) panels - a technology used to make screens for the iPhone and iPad.

While new technologies can be game-changers, these panels are not simple to produce, limiting availability and driving up manufacturing costs. Some warn of an LCD supply shortage.

“The LCD industry is improving more strongly than expected and panels are likely to be in short supply from 2013, as manufacturers upgrade their lines to increase high-end products. This requires more processing time and steps, reducing total output,” said Kim Dong-won, an analyst at Hyundai Securities.

As LCD prospects improve, LG Display, the world’s top LCD maker, swung to a quarterly profit in July-September, ending a run of seven straight quarterly losses.

As the global TV market is forecast to shrink 1-2 percent next year, panel makers with higher exposure to the booming mobile markets will lead a recovery, say analysts, though some caution that shares may be rising too fast.

The price of a 20-inch LCD monitor could drop by about 3.4 percent in the second half of the month, however, TV panel prices are expected to hold steady

Prices for liquid-crystal-display (LCD) panels used in monitors may begin to fall by as much as 3.4 percent in the second half of this month, ending a six-month uptrend as supply and demand reach parity, market researcher DisplaySearch said in its latest report.

Prices for monitor panels are expected to drop the fastest as “monitor panels with 16:9 aspect ratio are reversing to ­oversupply,” DisplaySearch said. “Monitor brands and original electronics manufacturers are becoming cautious about inventories on concerns about price erosion next quarter.”

A 20-inch LCD monitor with 16:9 aspect ratio may drop US$3, or 3.4 percent, to US$85 per unit in the second half of this month, from US$88 in the first half, DisplaySearch’s statistics showed.

The “slow season for the LCD sector [is] kicking in one to two months earlier, driven by continued negative newsflow on a hard landing for the LCD sector in the fourth quarter,” HSBC Securities analyst Frank Su (蘇�? said in a report issued last week.

The speculation may push panel buyers to trim orders before visibility of sell-though improves, Su said. He originally expected the slow season to begin in December.

The report said panel makers are managing to hold their price quotes for TV screens steady for the next two weeks as they “are seeing increasing demand from Europe,” the world’s biggest LCD TV market, the report said.

The Chinese market was a major export destination for local panel makers over the past two quarters, as demand in the world’s major TV markets, the US and Europe, were sluggish because of the economic turbulence.

HSBC retained an “overweight” rating on the nation’s top LCD panel maker AU Optronics Corp (友達光電), South Korean LG Display Co Ltd and Taiwan’s Innolux Display Inc (群創光電).
