APPLESerial 73268135 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Smit; Pieter
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Jun 27, 1980
Registered Sep 15, 1981
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on April 1 1988 because the owner, Pieter Smit, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1981 for class 009, covering spectacles and sunglasses. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer grants any enforceable rights, but the historical filing still indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific category. A new user seeking a similar name would face the closest concern only if the new use involved spectacles or sunglasses; other goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record contains no evidence of opposition, court action, or other enforcement activity. The last significant event was the cancellation itself. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to that narrow category of eyewear, and the mark’s cancellation suggests the owner has not maintained an active claim.

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.
