Brightflash, the shell company that would be recorded iWatch brand worldwide

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Two days ago we saw how Apple began to protect their registered field of jewelery and watches brands, a sign that it is preparing to launch something in that product category. But as far as the brand "iWatch" means, there is a company called Brightflash that is recorded in the United States. But MacRumors has released data that make him suspect that behind Brightflash is Apple itself.

Little is known of this company is founded in the state of Delaware (where laws facilitate the creation of companies), and its management are unknown. He began to register the mark 'iWatch' while Apple did outside the United States, and is the official address of a building where hundreds of thousands of registered stock companies.

It would not be the first time that Apple uses another company to register a mark that you want to use

Brightflash has also recorded some brands in other countries, and although it could be that it was a small company that wants to take ownership of the brands that seek technological giants concludes that it is not very likely because they are going too fast to coincide with the Apple decisions. 

Would not be the first time Apple has used shell companies to register brands: the iSlate it was owned by Slate Computing and brand iPad it was IP Application Development. Both were found to be controlled by Apple, who simply recorded the possible names of your tablet. We still do not know if that "iWatch" is a disposable iSlate name as it was, but these signals leave us less and less doubt that Apple is preparing for a new product.
