APPLE

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer live; it was cancelled on September 21 2001 because the registrant, Apple Towing Co., Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1994 for truck, automobile and boat towing services. A similar name used in those towing services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and ultimately registered before cancellation; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2001, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is not enforceable, but the historical registration for towing services still signals a potential concern if the new use is in that field.
