MACBOOK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MACBOOK” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers electrical and scientific apparatus, specifically computers, notebook computers, computer hardware, computer operating system software, and computer peripherals, with first use and use in commerce dated January 10, 2006. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any product or service that falls within those categories, especially notebook computers or related hardware and software. This record does not give Apple control over every use of the word “MACBOOK”; it applies only to the goods listed. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration. The latest maintenance event is the renewal, with the status date of May 30, 2026. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is that Apple’s active registration could be a meaningful concern for notebook computers and related items.
