Some product names are registered by Apple in Europe and China

Apple Pencil-Registered Names-0

Lately Apple has presented the odd new product and service which it has baptized with its already obvious nomenclature, that is, put the word "Apple" in front followed by the descriptive name of the device such as Apple Pencil or others less obvious such as CloudKit in addition to many others.

The news comes because this past week Apple has already submitted for registration, both in Europe and in China, the name of these products to avoid litigation and possible dislikes in the future

Apple Pencil-Registered Names-1

Specifically, if we stick to the data we see how last week, Apple presented four names in Hong Kong (China), in addition to two in Europe giving a total of six trademarks. Also, at the beginning of last week, six Apple Watch icons were registered in the US to avoid copies.

The names registered in China would be CloudKit, iCloud, iCloud Drive, Apple Pencil and "Apple iBeacon", all of them at the Hong Kong registry office,

Apple Pencil-Registered Names-2

For their part in Europe, there have been the names of HealthKit and HomeKit, that is, the set of developer tools created specifically for these functions in applications related to health and home automation within Apple. The names would not really be registered yet, since what is presented is a registration request so that it can be confirmed later.

On the other hand, it is normal that the registration of names is requested as soon as possible to avoid cases such as the one that happened in Brazil with Apple and the name of iPhone, where supposedly another company would have had the rights to the name before Apple and that in the end Although everything was decided in favor of the latter, they had to initiate criminal actions against the company they claimed.
