PS5 trademark listing points to imminent launch event reveal

The PS5 reveal date edges closer – and there’s now more evidence to suggest a PlayStation 5 launch event is imminently upon us. 

Tech site LetsGoDigital has spotted a trademark application for the PlayStation 5 that’s been submitted in Switzerland this week by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It covers off all you’d expect from a console, including hardware, peripherals and gaming software.

In the notes for the trademark application is also a priority claim for the trademark filed much earlier in Jamaica, dated October 3, 2019. It’s common practice for a company to first file their trademarks in nations like Jamaica that don’t list applications in readily searchable databases online, showing that Sony’s been firming up its PS5 plans for some time.

PS5 launch incoming?

It’s all starting to make the stars align for Sony’s next-generation console: with the hardware legally protected, it can start going about promoting it in earnest ahead of it going on sale.

So are we any closer to a PS5 launch event? The passing of time means, yes, of course – but are we any closer to confirmed date? There’s still no official word from Sony on that.

But that hasn’t stopped the internet hive mind from attempting to play Sherlock, with a Reddit thread last week believing it had found enough evidence to have tracked down a New York City venue for the launch event, and 29 February date. We had our doubts, but with Sony’s operations picking up speed, the company will have to show its hand sooner or later.

This leaked PS5 patent gives us our best look at the console design yet

The PS5 is still over a year away from release, but as we hear more about the Sony console’s features, specifications, and PS5 games, it’s hard not to get excited even this long in advance. And that was before this patent came our way, showing a Sony-registered device that is very possibly the PlayStation 5 itself.

The patent in question was registered as a Sony electronic device on August 13, after applying for the patent back in May of this year – showing a console-shaped device that seems highly unlikely to be anything but the PS5. The patent page we have is through LetsGoDigital, and we haven’t found the WIPO listing itself, but we think this is on pretty good authority.

The patent is registered through the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office), with Sony technical director Yusuhiro Ootori also being listed on the patent as its designer too.

Sony PS5 patent: what does this mean?

What’s most fascinating about the PS5 patent is its V-shaped design, possible in reference the Roman numeral V (meaning ‘5’). On the diagram you can see a number of USB ports for DualShock controllers, as well as a line of buttons that would likely correspond to ejecting discs, turning on power, and other connectivity features. There’s a thin slot that’s likely the disc drive too.

The ribbed sides and edges appear to show the ventilation system, which would need to be pretty substantial to deal with the PS5’s massive jump in power over the current generation of PlayStation consoles.

Finished products never look quite like their patent diagrams, of course, and it’s very possible this is a placeholder image or an early build of what will eventually become the PS5. Sony does like to feature a numerical count on its consoles, with tiers being cut into the shape of its PS3 and PS4 to represent the increasing number. So it’s very possible this is the PS5 design so many of us will have in our homes in the near future.
