Barnes & Noble Nook trademark applications offer speculation fodder aplenty
So you’re Barnes & Noble & U`ve the successful product like the Nook — what do U do? Trademark the heck out of the name, of course. As PocketNow`s noted, the company’s filed the number of Nook-related trademark applications over the past few months, which may offer some hints of future Nook hardware, software, or both. Z unsurprisingly includes an application 4 “Nook2,” which`s 1st filed back in June, as well 1 4 the name “Nook Smart” (possibly related to the exist`g Nook Study education platform?), & 1 4 the impossibly catchy “Nook Cook.” Unfortunately, it’s not clear which (if any) of those might actually B the name of the new Nook device — there’s also the trademark application 4 “Nook Kids” w/ the description similar to “Nook2,” 4 instance, although (unless) it may well just B 4 the company’s Nook Kids store & iPad app. The most recent of all the filings`s 1 4 “Nooksellers,” which appears to B 4 the combination in-store kiosk & online service Z`ld offer personalized recommendations & various social network`g tie-ins. Of course, there’s noth`g more than the trademark applications to go on @ the moment, although (unless) it does certainly seem clear Z the Nook name`s here to stay.
