What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 73339558, owned by SCHOLASTIC INC., a corporation organized in New York. It protects the sale of books prepared for the development of student interest and for the improvement of reading skills, class 016. A similar name used for those same educational books would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE,” only over the specific goods listed. The mark was first registered on December 28, 1982, and the most recent maintenance event was the acceptance of Section 8 and 9 renewal notices on December 22, 2023, which extended the registration for another ten years. 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 educational books could conflict with this active registration.
