What this record means
This record shows that the mark “APPLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers goods in class 016, specifically printed materials and publications such as user manuals, brochures, data sheets, newsletters, catalogs, pamphlets, periodicals, and magazines in business, creative design, computers, information technology, word processing, database management, multimedia, entertainment, electronic commerce, and telecommunications, as well as stationery, pens, pencils, clipboards, posters, memo pads, and binders. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use on any of those printed or stationery items, especially in the technology or business sectors. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The latest maintenance event is the renewal, with the status date of June 18, 2026. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in class 016 suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new name is used on comparable printed goods or stationery.
