Apple applies for 'iWatch' trademark in Japan

According to an unnamed patent official (speaking to news agency Reuters), Apple submitted the trademark application with the Japan Patent Office roughly a month ago – which would cover computers, computer peripherals and wristwatches. The iWatch is one of many rumoured wearble electronics that have proven to be, well more than a rumour. Whether or not any of them will be a commercial success, I'll leave to the consumer to decide. But, interesting none the less is the fact that more companies are venturing out to this untapped market.
