Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 36 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. In this particular report we cover two design patents for Apple's Vision Pro Spatial Computer and more including one for Embedded Optical Sensors in a Micro-led Display for a MacBook and more. And as always, we wrap up this week's granted patent report with our traditional listing of the remaining granted patents that were issued to Apple this week.

Granted Design Patents

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.

Today Apple was granted two design patents that relate to the 'Light Seal' and 'Cushion' for Vision Pro.

Although we reported in March that Apple had reportedly killed off their Micro-LED display project, a new granted patent reveals some of their work and thinking for this project for a Micro-LED Display for a  MacBook: If this project is ever resurrected, it's an interesting invention to review.
