APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was registered as a service mark on the Principal Register in 1984 for the class 036 “Insurance & Financial” goods, specifically “Extension of Retail Credit Services for the Purchase of Computers and Related Accessories.” The owner is Apple Computer, Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration was cancelled in 1991 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and no longer enforceable. Because the mark was only in the insurance‑financial class, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a much farther concern, though the exact wording still appears in the record. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on March 21, 1991. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a limited, class‑specific concern that has since expired, but the wording remains in the public record.
