APPLESerial 72368372 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: MANN'S BAIT MANUFACTURING CO., INC.
Class 028 -
Filed Aug 18, 1970
Registered Feb 22, 1972
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer live; it was registered on February 22, 1972, but the owner, MANN’S BAIT MANUFACTURING CO., INC., failed to renew it, and it expired on November 30, 1992. The registration covered fishing lures under class 028, with first use in August 1968. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the word “APPLE” in any other context, but the expired registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights to that name for fishing lures. The prosecution history shows a simple registration with no descriptiveness or other refusals, and the only maintenance event was the expiration in 1992. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the fishing‑lure market, but the dead status means the risk is lower than for an active mark, though the historical claim may still be relevant in that narrow field.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
