The latest updates for Google Trademarks were published this week and listed are "Google Play" and their "Google App Engine." Google Play was introduced earlier this month when Google rebranded its predecessor "Android Market" and Google Music services. Google Play is a digital content service from Google which includes an online store for music, movies, books, and Android apps and games, as well as a cloud media player. Their trademark filing is for the name Google Play and not the logo. The other trademark application update was for the Google App Engine logo. Google has since stylized their logo as illustrated in our cover graphic.

One Last Trademark Application to Note: Showy
To go along with Google Play, Google filed for a new trademark under application 85570895 on March 15, 2012 called "Showy." The application was filed under International Class 009 covering the following: "Downloadable software which allows users to use their computer, tablet device, or mobile phone as a remote control to operate video display devices and televisions; and downloadable software which allows users to remotely control the content on internet-connected digital signage."The first part of this class specification sounds very similar to Apple's Remote App.
