mailtonex Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looks like Apple Files for "CarPlay" Trademark in the US and Europe http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2014/08/apple-files-for-carplay-trademark-in-the-us-and-europe.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm surprised they hadn't done that ages ago. Usually we hear of stuff like this prior to the launch of the product. For example we learned recently that apple just filed to have the trademark of the name iTime. No watch has been announced yet. Carplay has been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pjrm68 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 The article says there was a problem in that another company already had trademarked the CarPlay name. Maybe this just means that Apple has worked out the problem and can now file for ownership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to the article there is a chance that company was just a shell company so apple could make sure the trademarks were secured without revealing to the world that carplay was going to be the real name prior to the announcement.

Spankey Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 That coupled with this: http://www.appradioworld.com/2014/07/pioneer-uk-says-carplay-update-likely-on.html Still has me thinking iOS 8 which should be released early September. All signs point to Apple not wanting to roll this out just yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEdge Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Look for the CarPlay update Tuesday morning, Aug 5th. Just a guess of course, but looking at recent events, it makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DP3343 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Explain the recent events that makes sense that carplay will be released Tuesday. I think he is referring to the tweet from Pioneer UK and the filing of the carplay trademark by apple. Tuesday is the day Apple usually chooses for launching updated software.

TheEdge Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Explain the recent events that makes sense that carplay will be released Tuesday. I am attempting to interject a little humor here, nothing more. Too much tension concerning the update. But, I will give my analysis, none the less. Apple will not wait for iOS 8 before approving devices for CarPlay. With the new phones coming out along with iOS 8 and the new kits (HealthKit, CloudKit etc) Apple will not want to bring attention to rolling out CarPlay so late. After all, it was announced over 16 months ago. Apple tends to tidy things up right before a feature goes live. The trademark registration of CarPlay a couple days ago would fall into that category. Apple releases new products on Tuesdays, most of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tekki Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Pretty familiar apple, not happy but familiar. I just wanted to see what you were going to say, I was hoping it was some concocted story that was a good morning laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spankey Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is another beta build of iOS 8 expected this week. The final GM will be in about a months time. If there were any changes to Carplay during tested that would have to be pushed in a software update to iOS 7. Could that happen in the interim? Sure. Just not sure about the likelihood. I'd be very happy about getting Carplay today, but I just don't see it happening with iOS 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
