Surely Apple and Google are primarily worried about revealing their plans to each other and similar companies, not to nascent startups, right?<p>And surely they can employ people in Tonga and Jamaica to inquire in person about trademark applications, right?<p>I feel like I must be missing something obvious here.

This is just for the public. Big companies rely on the &#x27;reveal&#x27; to generate viral news that feeds off the surprise factor.

I&#x27;m about to register 3 trademarks. After reading this, I&#x27;m about to create my first shell corporation. Wish me luck. :)

More interestingly - is this a useful strategy for start-ups to use and does it spread over other IP protection?
