The significance of this trademark filing is not only in the breadth of products that could grace the motto. The biggest significance I think is that we know Poet will not be an IDM like Intel in the short term. The devices Powered by Poet would be OEM devices or consumer devices. After all, we are a fabless company so why would we need to trademark Powered by Poet, since we actually won't be making any devices ourselves.

So to answer my own rhetorical question, I think this trademark is telegraphing the beginning of an actual product/device & marketing launch with Poet's first customer(s). The end customer would be branding their devices as Poet powered, not us. Therein lies the real significance.
