In addition to the United States, Apple has also filed patent applications in other regions. Shortly after the release of iOS7, Apple submitted a batch of trademark application documents for iOS7 application icons to the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Office. At that time, the application icons included maps, address books, newspapers and magazines, Passbook, pictures, reminders, settings, stock market and GameCenter. These application icons were all shown at the Apple WWDC conference.

Whether it's styling or color matching. Therefore, Apple is already strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights in iOS7.
