This week the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office published a pair of registered trademarks for 'iMac Pro' while filing for a new trademark in Hong Kong China that covers AI and Machine Learning.

Registered Trademark Certificate for "iMac Pro"

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted two Registered Trademarks for 'iMac Pro under numbers 5,490,046 and 5,490,045. The only difference between the two is their font styles as noted in the images below. Apple's iMac Pro began shipping in December 2017.

Both Registered Trademarks were filed un International Class 9 covering the following: "Computers; computer hardware; computer peripheral devices; computer keyboards; computer mice; sound recording and reproducing apparatus; audio speakers sold as component features of computers; cameras sold as component features of computers; microphones sold as component features of computers; data storage apparatus in the nature of an internal hard drive featuring software for the electronic storage of data; electrical and electronic connectors, wires, cables, chargers, and adapters for use with computers."

In other IP News, Apple has filed for a trademark for the word "TURI" in Hong Kong. In September 2016 Apple acquired a small Indian Machine Learning startup by that name.
