APPLESerial 73201697 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: APPLE INC.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jan 29, 1979
Registered Dec 23, 1980
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, Apple Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The registration covered class 016, specifically magazines for the personal computer field, and the mark was first used on January 6, 1979. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer provides enforceable rights, but the record still indicates that Apple Inc. once claimed protection for that specific type of publication. A similar name used for other kinds of paper goods or printed matter would be farther from the scope shown, while a name used for computer‑related magazines would be closer to the original concern. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or court activity beyond the Section 8 cancellation, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the history suggests that while the mark is no longer active, the original owner’s claim was limited to a narrow set of computer‑magazine publications, and any new use in a different category would be less likely to trigger concern.

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.
