Overview of recent activity relating to patents, trade marks, designs and copyright.
On Friday Apple was granted 10 design patents in Hong Kong relating to Apple's iPadOS widgets on Home Screen layouts that their grid design can accommodate. One of the layouts noted in our cover graphic is the first layout design win for Apple presented below. Apple introduced the new Mac Studio desktop and Studio Display on Tuesday and on Friday three related 'Studio' trademarks were filed for in the U.S. and one in Hong Kong.
Last summer Apple introduced a new iPhone display unit with a MagSafe stand at the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, as presented in our cover graphic. The concept was to be tested before Apple Stores in the U.S. and beyond would adopt the new retail store display units. While my local store has yet to utilize these new stands, perhaps your local store does. Yesterday the Hong Kong Patent Office granted Apple a design patent for the new iPhone stand. In addition, our report covers two new trademark filings related to business and music.
