Apple Files Trademarks for New Beats 2, 3, 4, 5 Radio Stations

Apple has filed trademarks for the B2, B3, B4, and B5 marks, as well as for the corresponding Beats 2, Beats 3, Beats 4, and Beats 5 marks, reports Consomac via MacRumors.

The owner of the trademark applications is listed as Beats Electronics, LLC and the applications are filed under the Telecommunications and Education classes.

Goods and Services: broadcasting and transmission of voice, data, images, music, audio, video, multimedia, television, and radio by means of telecommunications networks; broadcast and transmission of streamed music, audio, video, and multimedia content by means of telecommunications networks; matching users for the transfer of music, audio, video, and multimedia by means of telecommunications networks; providing access to websites, databases, electronic bulletin boards, on-line forums, directories, music, and video and audio programs

Apple is allowed to create up to five additional Beats radio stations without needing to renegotiate with labels. Thus, the trademark filings suggest the company is preparing to launch new stations. There's no word yet on the focus of the new stations. Apple could launch stations for different locales or perhaps different genres.

Currently, Beats 1 can be streaming using Apple Music and iTunes.
