Nem said: Well, my view on it is that trademarks shoud be useless unless the products are already actively in production. I know Sony is especially guilty of making countless trademarks that never actually materialise. |
Trademarks and patents are two different things.
This here is a patent. Tech companies make countless patents all the time, it's the job of their R&D teams to do so. Only a few patents end up as an actual product, but that's just how R&D works.
