APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is Mattel, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on May 3, 2007 on an intent‑to‑use basis for toy figures in class 028. Because the mark was abandoned, it does not give Mattel control over the word “APPLE” in any context, but the abandoned filing still records that Mattel once sought protection for that name in that specific product line. The prosecution history shows a series of office actions and a voluntary amendment in June 2007, followed by a non‑final action in August 2007, and ultimately an abandonment notice on March 19, 2008 for failure to respond. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations is visible in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the toy‑figure market; otherwise, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, though the mark’s prior existence may still be relevant in related contexts.
