Samsung Research Seeks ‘Marix’ Trademark for Conditional-Access Software

Samsung Research America of Mountain View, California, seeks registration of “Marix” as a trademark for a class of “computer software for controlling, monitoring and restricting access to televisions, desktop computers, and portable and handheld electronic devices,” said its April 19 application (serial number 87006511) at the Patent and Trademark Office. The subsidiary also wants to use the trademark for computer software to “remotely manage” those conditional-access “settings,” as well as for parental control software, the application said. Samsung representatives didn’t comment Monday.
