Shortly after leaving OnePlus, former co-founder Carl Pei started a new company calling Nothing. The name itself caused a ton of confusion amongst readers as well as what would be the newly form organization’s product line. Well today, we’ve got to know. Essential, the smartphone company founded by Android’s creator, Andy Rubin, is now a part of Nothing, according to recent filings.

According to recent filings at the UK Intellectual Property Office (via 9to5Google), Essential’s founder, Andy Rubin has passed over ownership of his company to Nothing Technologies. The entire process was completed as of January 6, while the application was made as early as November 11, 2020. With the ownership transferred, all existing trademarks, logos, along with the Essential brand are now a part of Nothing. This update can also mean that we might be looking at a new smartphone from Nothing.
