The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of thirty-two newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today including four design patents. The first two key patents that instantly stood out this morning were the ones for the original iPad and Smart Cover for the iPad 2. When designing the original iPad, Apple wanted to avoid the design flaws that were commonly associated with past attempts at a tablet PC. Apple didn't want users to see undesirable seams and gaps or the use of any kind of screw, bolt or rivet to mar the design. They also chose aluminum so that it would better work with wireless antennas. For those wanting to further explore Apple's patent, you'll find that the detailing throughout their patent is quite extensive. Whether this particular iPad patent will actually carry any value in their ongoing patent war with Samsung-Google is unknown at this time. The second noteworthy granted patent of the day goes to Apple's Smart Cover. It's Apple's fifth granted patent on this technology this year alone.
The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of four newly granted design patents for Apple on New Year's Day.

The other noteworthy design patent win today covers the once labeled "iPhone nano." The design is one of the original eight mini device designs that were granted to Apple in 2010. Apple's original patent stated that the handheld portable computing device could be a combination media player, media storage device and cellular phone.

In April of this year we first reported on Apple's patent application for a Micro SIM connector. The timing of Apple's new micro SIM connector patent couldn't have been more perfect in light of the battle between Nokia and Apple over the design of future miniature SIM cards for mobile devices. It was even been reported that Nokia had threatened to withdraw 50 or so SIM card related patents from ETSI if the Apple proposal is approved. Well, in June Apple's design won that very battle. Today, Apple has been officially granted the patent regarding the Micro SIM card.

Santa, who is a secret agent of The US Patent and Trademark Office, officially dropped thirty-six shiny new granted patent certificates down Apple's chimney this morning at 12:05 A.M., according to Elf 101 who is Santa's official spokesperson. The Elf told Patently Apple that there were two special patents of interest. The first one was for the fourth generation iPod touch's design which may have been one of the last design patents for a product that lists the late Steve Jobs as one of the inventors. The second patent is for the MacBook Air which the late Steve Jobs proudly introduced back in 2008. Apple's patent, which isn't a design patent, covers many aspects of the MacBook Air's design. The MacBook Air is one of the best notebook designs on the market today. So much so that Intel and their band cloners have copied Apple's design form factor and called it the "Ultrabook."
