Answer 1

Trademark

Step-by-step explanation:

A trademark is an intellectual property which consists of a particular design aimed at identifying a product as being from a particular source.

Answer 2

trademark

Step-by-step explanation:

When the announcement was made about the iPhone 11's new Slofie (slow- motion selfie) capability, Apple also said it had applied for a US trademark on Slofie.
