Lexus trademarks LBX model name in Europe

Lexus has recently filed trademark applications for the model name 'LBX', however it remains unclear what Toyota's luxury division intends to do with it. These applications were initially filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office on August 5, 2020. Lexus subsequently filed the same paperwork in Israel and Switzerland. The letter X has traditionally denoted SUVs in the Lexus range.
