What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Apple Health & Sports Club, a corporation organized in New York. The mark was filed on December 20, 1985 for services in class 042, specifically health club services, and the application was abandoned on November 19, 1986 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over the word “APPLE” in any other context. The closest area of concern would be other health‑club or fitness‑related services, but the record does not cover any other goods or services. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on November 19, 1986. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that using “APPLE” for unrelated services is unlikely to trigger a claim based on this particular filing, though the word remains protected in the specific health‑club context shown.
