APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on October 4, 2003 because the registrant, First Colony Life Insurance Company, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on December 31, 1996 for life insurance and annuity underwriting services in class 036. A similar name used in that same insurance and financial services sphere would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the record supplies no evidence of opposition, litigation, or other enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2003, and no further dates are listed. For someone looking at a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific insurance services covered, and the mark’s cancellation suggests the owner is not actively protecting it.
