Apple was granted a Design Patent in Hong Kong for their 'Mac Studio' desktop computer & Claris files for a 3rd U.S. trademark this week
On Friday, the Hong Kong Patent Office granted Apple a design patent for their all-new desktop computer branded the 'Mac Studio.' It's the first design patent from Hong Kong for 2022 and likely not the last. There's likely to be a design patent for the iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max with its unique 'Dynamic Island' in-the-works. Also on Friday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a third new trademark application for Claris (an Apple Inc. Subsidiary) this week.
Note: 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.
