What this record means
This record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by Apple Home Improvements, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The abandoned application was for a service mark in class 037, covering home improvement services, with first use in 1985 and use in commerce in 1991. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over the word “APPLE” in any other context. The closest area of concern would be other home‑improvement or related service businesses that might use the same name. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in 1994 and abandonment in 1995 due to failure to respond; no supplemental register status is involved. The latest status event is the abandonment on September 18, 1995. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a limited risk confined to home‑improvement services, but the mark is not enforceable.
