<p>Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed trademarks for “PS6”, PS7”, “PS8”, “PS9”, and “PS10” in Japan, likely as security for future <a href="https://bagogames.com/5-playstation-games-that-should-be-remade/">PlayStation</a> platforms. <span id="more-299095"></span>This sort of trademark security is a regular occurrence for Sony. Here is a history of “PS” trademarks in Japan:</p>
<ul>
<li>“<a href="https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/TR/JP-2000-004756/A320D3FD0C903B08789F7001D8889CA17B72E3EA195657D847CD03C5EE912775/40/ja" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PS</a>” (trademarked in 2000, released in 1994)</li>
<li>“<a href="https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/TR/JP-1999-013195/73F6DE68AB7839AD8AF3E913150F44C40D1905C160178820B1425BD1EE1BD168/40/ja" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PS2</a>” (trademarked in 1999, released in 2000)</li>
<li>“<a href="https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/TR/JP-2005-080767/E2AA99DED90B90AA56E74EE4223C48ED8C48D53062EF1D673C7ED3B7652DC045/40/ja" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PS3</a>” (trademarked in 2005, released in 2006)</li>
<li>“<a href="https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/TR/JP-2006-090972/F472843444F52A73E83626AB327FD75866B250EC3A7E9A974250F32BB3131BDA/40/ja" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">PS4</a>” (trademarked in 2006, released in 2013)</li>

<p>Seems like PlayStation is not going to mess around and will stick with the safest bet. While the trademark sounds quite ridiculous, Sony could just be securing the name to prevent any other company from taking it. Considering <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&;rct=j&;q=&;esrc=s&;source=web&;cd=10&;cad=rja&;uact=8&;ved=2ahUKEwirj7fnhMDlAhUMEqwKHRu5ASgQFjAJegQIARAB&;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.animatedtimes.com%2Fto-sonys-upcoming-playstation-5-microsoft-announces-playstation-6%2F&;usg=AOvVaw2AHN6yI71rQmPEF7RCJl3h">the latest jokes about companies making PS successors to &#8220;compete&#8221; with Sony</a>&#8230; I think it&#8217;s a pretty good preventive measure.</p>
<p>In related news, Bandai Namco trademarked “Supo-kyun!” in both <a href="https://chizai-watch.com/t/2019133137?q=2019-133137" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> and <a href="https://chizai-watch.com/t/2019133139?q=2019-133139" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">text</a> forms, as well as “<a href="https://chizai-watch.com/t/2019133138?q=2019-133138" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Men’s☆Party</a>&#8220;. Sega Games trademarked “<a href="https://chizai-watch.com/t/2019132511?q=2019-132511" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Meikodayo</a>” and “<a href="https://chizai-watch.com/t/2019132512?q=2019-132512" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kaitodayo</a>,” which are the full-body Nendoroid versions of <a href="https://bagogames.com/hatsune-miku-vr-future-live-will-bring-famous-vocaloid-playstation-vr/">Vocaloid</a> characters Meiko and Kaito. What could these companies have in their minds?</p>
