IPAD

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IPAD” is no longer live; it was cancelled on March 21 2016 because the international registration was cancelled in whole or in part. Apple Inc. is listed as the owner. The cancelled goods are engines not for land vehicles, electric motors for machines, and electric starter motors, as well as programmable electrical drives for controlling machines in medical, automotive, aerospace, building services, engineering and industrial automation, and low‑ and medium‑voltage variable‑frequency drives for motor control. A new name that is very similar to “IPAD” would raise the closest concern in the same technical areas of electric motors and industrial control equipment. The record does not give Apple any blanket control over the word “IPAD” in other contexts. No opposition, cancellation, or court action is shown in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name in these engineering or industrial automation fields, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
