Sony Applies at PTO to Register ‘QN’ Trademark for Variety of Tech Goods
Sony’s Tokyo parent company applied July 9 to register the “QN” plain-text trademark for a wide variety of possible commercial tech products, including TVs, speakers, headphones and smartwatches, Patent and Trademark Office records show. Sony already has “QN” in commercial use as part of a model-number designation for consumer accessories, including AC chargers and lithium-ion battery packs for smartphones. Sony didn’t comment Friday.
