Today Samsung was granted 187 patents including 11 design patents. One design is for a possible new smartwatch and the other is for a portable speaker. Our report lists 176 of Samsung's granted utility patents in three large expandable graphics along with 2 out of 11 design patents.
Samsung Wins Design Patent for a Portable Speaker
Design patents published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office don't reveal pertinent information about a particular design. All we get are patent figures like those presented below covering a portable speaker. Although we'd expect these speakers to work wirelessly with other devices like a smartphone or notebook, design patents only reveal and protect the exterior of a possible product and nothing else.
Design Patent: Smartwatch
Samsung was also granted a design patent for a possible new smartwatch that happens to have a two button setup on its band as noted in the patent figures below. Technically Samsung calls this design a "Watch-type portable data terminal." Once again, no specifics were provided.
Note for Tech Sites covering our Report: We ask tech sites covering our report to kindly limit the use of our graphics to one image. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.
