Apple Files For iCloud Trademark in Europe

Apple has filed a trademark application for 'iCloud' in Europe, according to Patently Apple.

The application was filed in a whopping 12 classifications that cover areas such as delivering digital music by telecommunications, electronic storage, online social networking services, multimedia content for a fee or pre-paid subscription, computer software, electronic books and magazines, entertainment, photographic services, business management and advertising services, games, headgear and digital devices/computers.
