APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by Apple Appliance Corporation, a New York corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The abandoned application covered electric toasters, blenders, mixers, irons, can openers, food processors, fans, hair dryers, hair blowers, curling irons and cameras, all under class 011. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class of small‑appliance and kitchen‑related goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed in October 1985, followed by a late abandonment in May 1986. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in the listed appliance categories.
