Samsung requests for trademarks, possibly for Galaxy S III US variants?

Samsung requests for trademarks, possibly for Galaxy S III US variants?

Talk Android has spotted three Samsung trademark requests: Galaxy Accelerate, Galaxy Express, and Galaxy Thunder. They also trademarks earlier for Galaxy Stellar, Halo and Emerge.
