Samsung might be planning on launching brand new line of devices that diversify its wearable category outside of its Galaxy Watch series. The company is apparently working on an AR based Galaxy Glasses and even a Galaxy Ring that can track your health.

The South Korean tech has filed for two new trademark applications. These trademarks were filed for a Galaxy Ring and a pair of Galaxy Glasses. The upcoming glasses gadget could be similar to the rumored Apple AR/VR headset, meaning, it could also feature either mixed reality or extended reality headset, which was teased during the Galaxy Unpacked event at the beginning of this month.

Furthermore, the company has also been granted the Galaxy Ring trademark by KIPRIS (Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service) on February 23. The Galaxy Ring classifications decribes the products as a “smart device for measuring health indicators and/or sleep in the form of [a] ring.” Unfortunately, the KIPRIS application didn’t reveal any other finer details regarding this upcoming device apart from its name. Although, based on the description, we can assume that the Ring will simply monitor wearer’s health and physical activities similar to a smartwatch.

On the other hand, Samsung has officially unveiled that it is working on the XR (extended reality) headset at the Unpacked event at February 1. The brand is partnering with Google and Qualcomm to build this headset, and now, the KIPRIS filing does hint that the upcoming gadget’s name could be called “Galaxy Glasses.”

Samsung is expected to launch new foldable smartphones this year. But prior to any official announcement, the company has applied for a trademark for S Foldable displays, which might be the screen panels used in these upcoming flexible devices. 

According to a LetsGoDigital report, the South Korean tech giant filed for a trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for the name ‘S Foldable.’ The news arrives amid other rumors of upcoming launches for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3. While these devices are likely to arrive sometime in the future with designs similar to the predecessor, the company is apparently also working on a new extra large foldable tablet device as well.

One of the unique aspect about the S Foldable display is likely its Z shared hinge design, which implies that the foldable smartphone will feature two hinge mechanism for a single display. Meaning, the handset would fold twice. The report also adds that this technology might also be seen with the Galaxy Z Fold Tab that could release later this year, but is more likely to be unveiled sometime in 2022. The ‘S’ in the trademark name is likely a hint towards the dual folding design that showcases its S shaped fold.

In the past, we had reported on the company patenting devices that have the S or Z shaped folding design. So, this might be the company’s move to trademark the design before the launch of a device that ships with it. Unfortunately, this is still a trademark application so finer details regarding any future launches are still unknown. So stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.

Samsung is reported to launch the Galaxy S21 series earlier than in previous years. The three smartphones in the series are expected to debut in January. Ahead of it, these devices have begun to receive certifications from multiple bureaus. Also, the South Korean tech giant filed a trademark called ‘Samsung Blade’ recently, which it could use for the Galaxy S21 series. Now, the company’s another newly filed trademark called ‘Galaxy Space’ has emerged.

Samsung Electronics filed the ‘Galaxy Space’ trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) on October 22. But it got approved and published on October 26.

This new Samsung trademark categorized as Class 9 is applicable to the following things.

• Virtual reality headsets
• LED displays
• Routers
• Digital door locks
• Battery chargers for portable phones
• Tablet PCs
• Portable computers
• Video projectors
• Smartwatches
• Smartphones
• Audio speakers

According to LetsGoDigital, Samsung could use this trademark for a virtual reality headset. That’s because a VR going by this name running 32-bit Windows 10 Home operating system with 8GB RAM visited Geekbech in July 2019.

Further, there’s also a chance that the company could use it for monitors as it already sells monitors with ‘Samsung Space’ branding. Whatever it is, we will know about it in the coming days if Samsung really intends to use it.

Apart from foldables, Samsung has been also patenting and trademarking designs and utilities related to normal smartphones. Last week, Samsung Display trademarked “Blad Bezel” for a variety of devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, video screens, and more. Now, Samsung Electronics has trademarked a similar thing called ‘Samsung Bade’

Just like last week, this week’s Samsung trademark was also spotted by none other than LetsGoDigital. According to the publication, Samsung Electronics filed for the trademark called ‘Samsung Blade’ with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office categorized as Class 9.

The description of the new trademark includes the following things.

• Display panel
• Flat-panel display screens
• Displays for smartphones
• OLED (Organic light-emitting diode) display panels
• Touch screens

The above-mentioned description for ‘Samsung Blade’ indirectly suggests that the South Korean tech giant may use this for the Galaxy S21 series, especially Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+, which are expected to come with flat displays instead of curved panels found on their predecessors.

Since the Galaxy S21 series is reported to launch in January, much earlier than previous generations, the smartphones in the series have begun to receive certifications from multiple bureaus.

Now, as Samsung Electronics has filed this trademark at around the same time, there’s a high chance for the company to use it for the Galaxy S21 series.

Lately, the Samsung group has been patenting a number of designs and utilities for foldable smartphones. That does not mean the company has given up on normal slab handsets. Because its latest trademark related to normal smartphone bezels.

LetsGoDigital is well-known for patent and trademark coverage. The publication has now unearthed a trademark called “Blade Bezel” filed by Samsung Display with the KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office) on October 16.

The application for this trademark is categorized as Class 9 meant for large screen display, smartphone display, LCD, LED, OLED, digital camera display, and video screen.

The description suggests that Samsung Display may use the Blade Bezel trademark with a plethora of devices like televisions, monitors, smartphones, and cameras. However, it does not mention the appearance of this kind of bezel.

Going by the word “Blade”, we can assume these bezels to be flat without any curves. So Samsung Display may use this trademark for its flatter slim bezel panels.

Anyway, companies file a wide variety of patents and trademarks but not all of them are used by them. These filings are mostly for securing their original ideas so that no other companies, especially competitors could use them.
