IPHONE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IPHONE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers handheld mobile digital electronic devices for telephone calls, electronic mail, digital data, audio playback, handheld computers, personal digital assistants, electronic organizers, electronic notepads, and cameras, all under class 009. A similar name used for products or services that fall into any of those categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Apple control over every use of the word “iPhone” in all contexts; it is limited to the goods listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration, and the latest status event is a renewal noted on June 21, 2022. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, active registration in these specific electronic device categories suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
