According to Patently Apple, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a trademark filed earlier this week by Apple for the term "Magic Trackpad". The trademark application requests registration in International Class 009 under multiple categories under computer hardware and software, as well as several types of peripheral devices. International Class 009 includes the following categories:
Computers; computer software; computer operating system software; computer utility software; computer hardware; computer peripherals; scanners; touchscreens; keyboards; computer mice; trackballs; trackpads; touchpads; light pens; joysticks; game controllers; graphics tablets; digitizers; cables and connectors; flash memory drives; USB drives; solid state storage devices; barcode readers. It is still unknown whether this could be a new type of trackpad coming to Apple's notebook lines soon or if it could be an entirely new product.
