Apple looks to secure “Multi-Touch” Trademark

Multi-Touch

It seems like Apple’s trying to protect the “Multi-Touch” trademark worldwide; according to AppleInsider, the electronics giant discreetly applied for the trademark at an intellectual property office in the Far East. Should the application be approved, this will give Apple control over where and when the trademark could be used by other parties.

The restriction applies not only to mobile phones, but other products like televisions and video game consoles. This fuels the speculation that Apple will be bringing Multi-Touch to the Mac and other products. A recent patent application revealed that the company has plans to produce a Multi-Touch Mouse, allowing users to do some nifty things on the mouse’s surface.

The trademark application is still under review.
