APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was registered on the Principal Register on December 10, 1996, but the registration was cancelled on September 13, 2003 because the owner, Interco Incorporated, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered footwear under class 025, with first use in commerce on June 20, 1983. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer has enforceable protection, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in that specific category. There is no evidence of opposition, cancellation after publication, or court action, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation date in 2003. A new user of the name “APPLE” in the footwear space would face the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the specific scope shown. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that the mark’s protection has ended, but the past claim in footwear remains a potential point of caution.
