Last Friday the Hong Kong Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple three Apple Watch related design patents. In addition, Apple filed for the trademark "Designed by Apple in California" in Europe that covers their new industrial design book that was launched before Christmas 2016. Unlike "patent applications," design patents published by any Patent and Trademark Office around the world don't reveal any pertinent information about a particular design beyond a bland generic title and a series of graphics as you'll see below.
