APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on October 19, 1998 because the owner, Ross Cosmetics Distribution Centers, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on April 14, 1992 for cosmetics and cleaning goods, specifically nail polish, mascara, lipstick, eye shadow, and related items. A similar name used for those or closely related beauty products would raise the closest concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication and registered on the Principal Register before cancellation, with no supplemental register activity. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you’re thinking of using a similar name for cosmetics, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the cancelled mark’s former scope.
