Samsung Files to Trademark ‘The Future Unfolds,’ Won’t Say if It’s for Foldable Phone

Samsung filed trademark applications Sept. 24 in the U.S. and Sept. 20 in the EU to register the promotional phrase “The Future Unfolds” for many goods and services, including smartphones, Patent and Trademark Office records show. Samsung didn’t comment Monday. Its first foldable smartphone late this year or early next is expected to be a “fold-in” model with cover material sourced from Sumitomo Chemical fashioned from colorless polyimide film for the curvature and hard coat for scratch resistance (see 1809270001).
