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 class 038, which lists telecommunication access services, communication by computer, transmission of data and information by electronic means, and related services such as streaming audio and video, delivery of messages, and provision of telecommunications connections to computer databases and the Internet. A similar name used in these or closely related communication services 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 services listed. No prosecution history or enforcement events appear, so the supplied history shows no visible opposition or cancellation activity. The most recent status event is the renewal noted on June 21, 2022. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the same field suggests a meaningful risk of confusion if the name is used for comparable communication services.
