Amid robust financial performance, Sony Music Entertainment, part of the global tech and entertainment conglomerate Sony Corporation, has filed a new U.S. trademark, 'WALKING EYE DISTRIBUTION' signaling an expansion in multimedia and artist management services. The recent filing with the USPTO covers categories such as musical sound recordings, entertainment marketing, artist management, and online non-downloadable sound and audiovisual content. This comes after Sony reported a 37% rise in net profit to €3.4 billion for the financial half to September, driven by strong demand in gaming and semiconductor sectors. The company’s half-year operating profit surged 42% to €4.4 billion, with consolidated sales up 2% to €35.7 billion, prompting an upward revision of its full-year revenue outlook to €76.7 billion by March 2025. Founded in 1946, Sony has evolved into a diversified giant, renowned for pioneering innovations like the Walkman and maintaining significant operations in electronics, gaming, finance, and entertainment.
