I posted a week ago about a couple of new Google trademarks (technically they’re called service marks) and I thought it would be interesting to see if I could find any new service marks that Yahoo had filed for with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Here’s what I found. What new services or programs (if any) they might be telegraphing is (of course) to be determined.
A selected list of words and phrases that Yahoo has filed for service marks with the USPTO, 2004-Present:
+ “COVER ART”
This filing was made with the USPTO less than a month ago.
+ “PEARL HUNTER”
Also filed for less than a month ago.
+ YAHOO 360
Filed for at beginning of March.
Selected 2004 Filings from Yahoo
+ “LIFE IS ALL AROUND YOU. YOU JUST NEED TO FIND IT”
+ “EVEN WHEN YOU’RE OUT, YOU’RE IN”
+ “DIGDIG”
+ “Y20”
+ “SMARTFIT”
