APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on June 4 2005 because the owner, Apple Adhesives, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was once registered on the Principal Register on August 28 1984 for the specific good of glue for household purposes, first used in commerce in January 1978. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the record does not indicate that the owner has abandoned the mark entirely, but the cancellation means the mark is not enforceable in the United States. The only visible enforcement signal is the cancellation itself; no oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history. A new user seeking a name similar to “APPLE” would face the closest concern only if the new use involved household glue or a closely related product. In other goods or services the risk is farther from the scope shown. The record’s last meaningful event was the Section 8 cancellation in 2005, and no subsequent maintenance dates are provided. For someone considering a similar name, the cancellation suggests a reduced risk, but the specific goods of household glue remain a potential point of concern.
