ATI Trademarks “ATI AVIVO”

On July 12, 2005 ATI filed for a trademark on the phrase “ATI AVIVO” through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and it has just been approved. The listing is described as computer software for improving the quality of images as they appear on a computer monitor; and computer hardware, namely, transistor blocks for facilitating the software’s function. This leads LR to believe that AVIVO may be an abbreviation for Advanced Video-in/Video-Out, something which may be available on ATI?s future products that support certain multimedia functions.
