Apple is Granted 2 new AirTag Design Patents

Apple was granted 6 design patents for AirTags on June 12, 2021. The Hong Kong Patent & Trademark Office has now granted Apple an additional 2 design patents for AirTags as presented below – that appear to be all-new designs.

Unlike "patent applications" that provide the public with an abstract, summary and details of an invention, "design patents" published around the world are limited to only providing the public with design patent figures. No additional specifics of the design are made available.

Both design patents were filed in Hong Kong under Locarno Classification #3-01 covering: "Keyholders, Specialty Cases and similar articles."
