APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is Apple Rubber Products, Inc., a corporation organized in New York, and the mark was filed on October 14, 1980 and abandoned on March 5, 1984. The abandoned goods are “products such as O‑rings, gaskets, and similar products” in classes 017 and 020, so a similar name used for those kinds of rubber or gasket items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer has control over the mark, but it does not eliminate the possibility that other rights or similar marks exist elsewhere. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is recorded. The last meaningful event is the abandonment date in 1984. If you are thinking of using a similar name for rubber or gasket products, this history suggests a cautious approach, as the abandoned mark still indicates prior interest in that wording for those goods.
