On May 15, 2015 the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office granted Apple a Registered Trademark Certificate for their Power Adapter. The documentation shows a delay in making it public, being that it was actually granted to Apple back on April 28, 2015. In Europe, Apple filed for the "iCloud" trademark with an all-new International Class included.

International Classes

According to the European Patent and Trademark Office's documentation, the trademark was officially filed under seven International Classes as fully described below. In June 2011 Apple filed for a whopping 11 separate US iCloud Trademark Applications covering 11 International Classes.

Today's European Filing contains only one all-new International Class which is that of Class 37. This particular class generally covers installation, consultation and repairs to computers, electronic devices and peripherals. With Apple forcing all Apple Watch sales to be made online, you have to wonder if repairs will be handled this way in the future as well considering the inclusion of Class 37.

Another note of interest is that the word "Music" only appeared twice in the eleven 2011 filings, both found under International Class 038. Apple's latest filing in Europe lists "Music" in classes 009, 016, 035 and 41 for a total of seven times. Considering that Apple's CarPlay and music streaming service will roll out in the second half of 2015, it makes perfect sense that Apple would file for the trademark (and/or update) with the new verbiage at this time.
