No idea if Sony can actually trademark basic geometric shapes, but as the article said,
this is officially licenced by Sony, so any such relevant trademark would be covered if they're using the shapes.
A 3rd party offering alternate stick layout is pretty basic, but I'm not sure if the touchpad will in fact be a required thing for many PS4 games.
The article doesn't really discuss 6 Axis at all. Hori could possibly licence/purchase those components from Sony, though.
