Samsung is looking to trademark the phrase ‘Make & Play 3D' in the European Union. The paperwork suggests we are looking at the name of a feature of, or an application for Time-of-Flight camera sensors.
Samsung Make & Play 3D trademark
Yesterday, Samsung filed an application for the trademark ‘Make & Play 3D' at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The application is quite clear about what the mark is intended for:
Camera modules in the nature of cameras for smartphones (…) Time-of-flight (TOF) optical sensors for smartphones; Spatial, depth, and distance sensors for smartphones (…) Software for smart phones and mobile devices for use in enhancing the quality of digital images and photographs taken.
Make & Play 3D is either a separate application or a built-in feature, on Samsung phones packing a Time-of-Flight sensor. Currently, the list of devices with such a sensor is limited to the Galaxy S10 5G and the Galaxy A80. However, the upcoming Galaxy Note 10, too, is expected to come with a ToF camera sensor on its back. It is on the latter that the app of feature might make its debut, as it is right now not incorporated into the other devices.
If so, then we can expect to learn more about Make & Play 3D in August, as Samsung is expected to launch its new Note 10 devices on or around the 7th of that month.
