Not only is a platform famous for short videos, but TikTok has also helped most of us discover new songs. ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, filed a trademark application for "TikTok Music" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office back in May. Could it be something that rivals the likes of Spotify?
Besides the U.S., ByteDance filed the same trademark in Australia in November last year, which gives the idea that the company will launch a standalone music streaming service for the markets. It's worth mentioning that the company has a streaming app called Resso in India, Brazil and Indonesia. It has been stealing market share from other companies over the past year. Therefore, it's not inconceivable for the company to launch one using the famous "TikTok" branding in other countries.
However, the source also mentions the possibility for other use cases, such as an app that allows users to use "live audio and video," as well as the ability to "edit and upload photos as playlist covers" and "comment on music, songs, and albums."
Would you hop on "TikTok Music" if it really turned out to be a music streaming platform? Drop a comment to let us know, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.
