Samsung Seeks Trademark for Apps for Accessing Online Retail Services

Samsung’s Korean parent applied to register “SAMSUNG W A" as a trademark for two international classes of goods and services, Patent and Trademark Office records show. The desired trademark, which consists of the wording "SAMSUNG W A" in “stylized form,” will apply to “application software” for smartphones and tablets “for use in accessing online retail store services featuring wearable computer devices” and other products, said the application (serial number 87049162), which was filed May 25 at PTO. Samsung envisions using “SAMSUNG W A” for smartphone apps “providing deals, discounts, coupons, product reviews and links to online retail stores,” the application said.
