APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Apple Rubber Products, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The abandoned application was filed on Oct 14, 1980 and the status changed to dead on Mar 05, 1984. The goods listed are “products such as O‑rings, gaskets, and similar products” in classes 017 and 020, so a similar name would raise the closest concern for those specific rubber components. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the word “APPLE.” There is no prosecution history or supplemental register activity to explain, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied data. The last meaningful event is the abandonment in 1984. For someone thinking of a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk for use in the rubber gasket market, but no broader claim exists.
