APPLESerial 86971465 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed Apr 11, 2016
Registered Oct 24, 2017
This record shows that the mark “APPLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register. The owner is Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, a corporation organized in Virginia. The registration covers services in class 035, specifically “Advertising & Business” for promoting public awareness of student‑athlete wellness and substance abuse prevention. A similar name used for services that fall within that same advertising or public‑awareness context would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE”; it applies only to the specified services and class. No prosecution history is shown, so the mark was accepted without refusal. The most recent status event is the acceptance of a Sections 8 and 15 combined declaration on January 10, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “APPLE” for comparable advertising or public‑awareness services could be viewed as infringing this registered mark.

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.
