Trademark & Patent Filing: Complete Issue Index
Trademark & Patent Filing is a weekly roundup of new trademark and patent filings from the sports watch, ring and sensor brands this site covers. Trademarks come first, because a registered name usually becomes a product or feature and the name itself is often the clue. Patents follow as evidence of direction, and most never reach a product. Every entry states what was filed, how firm the evidence is and how likely it is to ship. The index below lists every issue, newest first. Updated every Thursday.
Brands covered every week: Garmin, Apple, Samsung, Google and Fitbit, COROS, Polar, Suunto, Amazfit, Huawei, Xiaomi, Moto, WHOOP, Wahoo, Oura and Ultrahuman.

Issue 0: September 2026: Whoop’s Connected Care and membership tier trademarks, a Whoop muscle oxygen patent, Oura’s removable ring battery, Google’s cuffless blood pressure method, and filings from Samsung, Amazfit, Apple and Ultrahuman.
