APPLESerial 73309003 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: COMPUTER APPLES, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed May 06, 1981
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an office action. The owner listed is COMPUTER APPLES, INC., a corporation organized in Michigan. The mark was filed on May 6 1981 for use in commerce under §1(a) and was abandoned on January 31 1983. The only goods listed are computer programs recorded on paper or tape, class 009, with first use in 1973. Because the record covers only that narrow category, a similar name used for other kinds of goods or services would be farther from the specific scope shown, though the exact wording still raises a concern for computer‑related software. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in December 1981, an assignment to an examiner in October 1981, and an abandonment mailed in January 1983, with no evidence of enforcement or opposition. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest record‑based concern lies in the computer‑software arena, and the abandoned status does not eliminate the risk of confusion in that area.

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.
