Apple files for 'Aloha' trademark in Hong Kong

Posted on Mar 16, 2006 at 4:16pm by Neo
Under the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s Trade Mark Search System associated with the ‘The Intellectual Property Department, Apple has filed for the trademark Aloha.

After known Apple trademarks such as Dashboard and Shuffle, the Hong Kong database presents Aloha application 300342279 under International Class 009 representing portable digital electronic devices and software related thereto.

The Government of Hong Kong’s eGazette published on Feb. 17, 2006 has Apple’s Aloha trademark listed in the sixth entry with the ‘address of service’ noted as being from the offices of BAKER & MCKENZIE.

Any idea what this could be? SOunds like maybe a phone? Aloha means Hello. WHat do you say on a phone?.... Hello!

Prolly' a new phone made by Apple. Hopefully it can work with verizon, if that's what it is. .

Hmm, Bonjour, Aloha. Is Apple trying to take over the world?

Sounds like a feature on iPods that lets you wirelessly transmit data between them and between the device and a computer.

 

[Maxwell Smart]

Whatever it is, Im looking forward to it

It sounds like another Bonjour... perhaps for communicating iPods wirelessly?

 

[WildCowboy]

Maybe it's the companion technology for Bonjour...automatic disconnecting. It's hard to tell with a name like "Aloha."

Yes, look for Do Svidania in 2007.

Haha. I wouldn't doubt it.

The Aloha application is old, from December 2004. It was one of the unused replacement names for Rendezvous, along with Opentalk. The record is attached for reference.
