The patent detail the canonic looks of the Apple Watch : the curved rectangle of the body , the sensors on the back , the push button and crown , and the notch for the strap . All very straightforward . It ’s deserving notice this is just for the plan , though , and limit to America , too . So Apple does n’t ( yet ) lay title to patent rights for the smartwatch as a concept , and you’re able to wait to see cheap knockoffs on sales agreement abroad , too . Still , never let a small paperwork get in the elbow room of Apple worldly concern domination . [ USPTOviaCNETviaVerge ]
