1xApple-Design-Patent-report (Click on image to Enlarge)

Apple has been granted a series of new design patents covering an Apple Watch band related to the Nike series plus a series of design patents for furniture for Apple Stores, mainly flagship stores as noted in the photo above from Apple's  New York 57th. Avenue location.

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.

Below is an image of an actual Apple showcasing the Nike band and below it are a few of design patent figures. Clearly this is an "Apple band and not one from Nike – making it a clear marketing gimmick.
