USPTO Withdraws Objections to iPad mini Trademark, Apple Gets the All Clear

ipadminiLast week we reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had denied Apple’s trademark application for the iPad mini name because it “merely describes a feature of characteristic of the applicant’s goods.” According to the USPTO, the name was merely a descriptor rather than a unique product name.

Apple was given until July to address the concerns that the USPTO examiner found, but as it turns out, the Cupertino-based company will not need to fight for the iPad mini trademark. A newly published document from the USPTO from last Wednesday reveals that the office withdrew its objections over the iPad mini trademark.

Browsing the Online Apple Store on Your iPad is Easier Than Ever Thanks to New Update

scrollbarThe online Apple Store went down late last night, which is always exciting because it means some kind of update is imminent. When the store came back online, it wasn’t immediately clear what had been changed, but Japanese blog Macotakara tracked down the differences, which ended up being design enhancements when viewing the site on a mobile device like the iPad or the iPhone.

When you visit the online Apple Store via a touchscreen device, you will now notice a new sliding navigation bar that has been implemented for product categories. You can select one of the main categories, such as Mac, iPad, iPhone, or iPod, and then quickly browse through child categories using that permanent navigation bar which slides back and forth.
