The Amazon Android tablet has been rumoured to be set for an October release for some time which makes Amazon’s application for a set of new trademarks rather intriguing. The documents relate to Lab126, Amazon’s hardware division, which develops the Amazon Kindle and is said to be hard at work on the Amazon Android tablets.
The logo above has long been the Lab126 logo but the trademark filing that Amazon submitted on August 16 under the classification “design and development of computer hardware and software” is the first time the company has attempted to protect the division’s brand.
That could simply be a case of Amazon rather tardily protecting itself legally but the timing has got us wondering whether the logo is about to do double duty as branding for the Amazon Android tablet. Then again after Jeff Bezos teasing us with the prospect for so long, we could just be imagining things.
