APPLESerial 75063858 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Apple Computer, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Feb 26, 1996
This record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by Apple Computer, Inc., a corporation organized in California. The abandoned application was for class 009, covering electronic learning equipment such as electronic toy computers and electronic games for teaching children. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “APPLE” in all contexts, but it does establish that Apple Computer, Inc. once sought rights to that name for those specific electronic learning products. The prosecution history shows that after the Notice of Allowance in September 1997, the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension, leading to abandonment in October 1998. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the niche of electronic learning toys; outside that narrow scope the risk is lower, but the record still signals that Apple Computer, Inc. had at one time claimed rights to the name for those goods.

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.
