As you’ll notice following the link, many of the entries are absurd such as dog and/or sports whistles, fire extinguishers and decorative magnets – which of course will never be powered by the M1 Ultra.
UltraFusion
In context with the M1 Ultra trademark is another filing for “UltraFusion,” covering Apple’s innovative packaging architecture that interconnects the die of two M1 Max chips to create a system on a chip (SoC) with unprecedented levels of performance and capabilities. Patently Apple covered a rumor of Apple adopting TSMC’s 3D Fabric technology back in December 2021 and TSMC confirmed Apple’s use of their technology in early 2022.

Apple’s Specimen
The U.S. Patent Office defines a specimen as being an example of how a company is actually using their trademark in the marketplace with the goods or services in their application. It’s what consumers see when they are considering whether to purchase goods or subscribe to services that Apple provides in connection with their trademark. Below is the “Specimen” for this music channel supplied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Apple filed their trademark under International Class 041 covering: “entertainment services, namely providing an ongoing radio program in the field of music; production and distribution of radio programs, videos, podcasts and sound recordings in the field of music; entertainment services, namely providing ongoing podcasts in the fields of entertainment and music; provision of information relating to music; entertainment services, namely curating songs for music playlists; entertainment services, namely compiling and publishing music playlists; providing non-downloadable customized music playlists via the internet and other communications networks; selecting non-downloadable music recordings to create musical playlists for others and publishing those musical playlists; providing a website portal featuring links to musical sound recordings; provision of live entertainment, namely, musical performances.”
It should be noted that international trademark classes that Apple files their trademarks under are important as the trademark registration will only protect those classes that have been identified in their original application. In a legal battle, the classes filed for originally could make or break a legal case.
