TikTok May Have a Music App in the Works

As earlier reported byBusiness Insider, ByteDance filed a trademark tool with the USPTO on May 9.

While the trademark filing is new to the US, the idea of a TikTok-adjacent streaming service isn’t.

ByteDance already has a music streaming app called Resso, which is available in India, Brazil and Indonesia.

TikTok could use the music interest of its existing users as an on-ramp to a new service.

But TikTok’s surging growth may not necessarily translate to a disruptively popular music service.

TikTok and ByteDance didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
