APPLE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was registered on the Principal Register on December 4, 1990, but it was cancelled on January 15, 2016 because the owner, Apple Plastics, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered plastic bags (class 022) first used in commerce in November 1987. A similar name would raise the closest concern for plastic bag products or related plastic packaging. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of registration and renewal actions, with no opposition or enforcement activity recorded. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2016. Because the mark is no longer active, the risk of infringement is lower, but the name could still be problematic for plastic bag products where the original owner’s earlier rights might still be asserted.
