APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers electrical and scientific apparatus, specifically computers and computer programs recorded on paper and tape, including operating software, development tools, game software, and software for creating and editing text and graphics. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of computer hardware and software. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Apple” in other contexts. There is no prosecution history or supplemental register activity to note. The most recent maintenance event is the renewal of the registration, with the status date of March 13, 2019. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the presence of a live, active registration in the computer and software classes suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
