Apple Files Figurative Trademark for MobileMe iDisk
On May 19, 2010, the US Patent & Trademark Office officially published Apple's latest figurative trademark application covering MobileMe iDisk under application 85037005. Apple has filed their trademark under two International Classes covering computer services and software. Apple's MobileMe iDisk Quick Tour video states that "with MobileMe you get an iDisk where you could keep all of your important files. It's like having your own personal hard drive on the web." Apple's figurative trademark tries to capture that marketing imagery.
