Apple has filed trademark motions for its official iPhone and iPad app icons with minutely detailed descriptions.
Here’s the description for the MobileMe iDisk, for instance: “The mark consists of a rectangle with rounded corners depicting a stylized white cloud on a blue background.” Descriptions are accompanied by large image files of the icons.
As for trying to trademark mobile app icons in the first place, let’s put it like this: If Apple gets the trademark, then we guess it makes sense.
