Samsung is one of the most popular smartphone makers in the entire world, and it's always looking for new features to set its devices apart from others
A patent filed by Samsung that features illustrations of a device that looks like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has sparked speculations that the tech giant is planning to remove all physical buttons from its foldable devices. They could be replaced with capacitive buttons and gesture-based controls in the future.
Is Samsung removing all physical buttons in Galaxy Z Fold 3?
The patent filing in question was submitted last November and was recently published by the World Intellectual Property Office, as first spotted by Lets Go Digital.

Until just a few years ago, most Canadian brand owners doing business abroad had limited options for protecting their trademarks outside of Canada. They were obliged to file separate applications in each country of interest, except in the few areas where a regional application is available (such as for the European Union).
This decentralized approach meant that securing global brand protection was a costly and sometimes difficult endeavour for Canadian businesses. Filing an application directly in a foreign jurisdiction typically requires the services of local trademark counsel in each country or region and often raises frustrating technical hurdles such as the need for translations, powers of attorney and formalities such as notarization and legalisation of documents.
