On July 30, 2021, Sony Group Corporation filed an application with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to register the Lytia trademark. The application was filed by intermediary Muller Fottner Steinecke Rechtsanwalte, who previously applied for Sony trademarks, including CinemaWide. The Lytia trademark belongs to class 9 with the following descriptions: semiconductors; Cell phones; smartphones; personal digital assistants.
It is not yet known exactly what Sony Lytia is and whether the Japanese manufacturer intends to develop its own microprocessors for smartphones. In 2015, there were rumors that Sony was working on its own single-chip system for Xperia smartphones. However, it did not come to this.
Semiconductors include not only processors, but also, for example, image sensors. It is likely that this trademark is related to the image sensors that the company produces. Sony is the market leader in image sensors, and its sensor is used by many phone manufacturers.
Sony has had its own semiconductor business since 1954, mainly focusing on the development of camera sensors. In 1980, the company was the first to develop a color CCD camera. After that, Sony began to concentrate on developing CMOS image sensors.
The source believes the Sony Lytia name is an innovative technology that will be used in the company’s future image sensors. Likewise, the company uses Pregius and SenSWIR technologies for its CMOS image sensors.
