APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 73743564, owned by APPLE RUBBER PRODUCTS, INC., a corporation organized in New York. The registration covers O‑rings, gaskets, and non‑metallic seals for use in aerospace, medical and industrial applications, first used in commerce in 1971. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services that fall within that specific technical field of seals and gaskets. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The prosecution history shows a standard examination and acceptance of the mark, with no indication of a supplemental register sequence. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal of the registration on June 22, 2019, which extended the term for another ten years. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the same or a closely related field of seals and gaskets could be viewed as infringing.
