Apple trademarks "Vingle" (UPDATE)

Submitted by Alexandros Roussos on Thu, 2005-10-13 17:12

Apple has trademarked "Vingle" at the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office. The trademark has been filed on October the 7th and includes a logo. Apple filed the trademark three times with a different description.

Here is an extract of the first trademark's description:
"Retail store services in the field of entertainment, namely, musical, audio and audiovisual works and related merchandise, provided via the internet and other computer and electronic communication networks; data storage and retrieval services; computerized data storage services; electronic storage and retrieval of documents, data, images, audio, video and audiovisual works; information, advisory and consultancy services relating to all the aforesaid"

Here's the extract of a second filing:
"Telecommunication services, namely, electronic transmission of streamed and downloadable audio and video files via computer and other communications networks; providing on-line chat rooms, bulletin boards and community forums for the transmission of messages among computer users concerning entertainment, music, concerts, videos, radio, television, film, news, sports, games and cultural events; web casting services; delivery of messages by electronic transmission; provision of connectivity services and access to electronic communications networks, for transmission or reception of audio, video or multimedia content."

and the third:
"Computers; computer hardware; computer peripherals; hand held computers; computer terminals; personal digital assistants; electronic organizers; electronic notepads; apparatus for recording, transmission and reproduction of sounds, images, or other data; portable and handheld digital electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing audio, video and still images files; magnetic data carriers; mobile digital electronic devices; telephones; computer gaming machines; monitors, displays, keyboards, cables, modems, printers, videophones, disk drives; cameras; computer software; computer software for use in authoring, downloading, transmitting, receiving, editing, extracting, encoding, decoding, playing, storing and organizing audio, video and still images; computer software for DVD authoring; prerecorded computer programs for personal information management; database management software; computer programs for accessing, browsing and searching online databases; blank computer and consumer electronic storage media; computer and electronic games; user manuals sold as a unit with the aforementioned goods"

This trademark filing probably has to do with yesterday's announcements. The most obvious definition of a Vingle is a video single.

Yesterday, the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office also revealed that Apple has trademarked "Tubes", which is the name of the iPod nano cases.

UPDATE: Added the description of the three filings.
