What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was registered on the Principal Register on August 13, 1974, but it was cancelled on January 27, 1981 because the owner, Ken and Mary McDaniel Incorporated, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancellation is the most recent status event, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The record does not list any goods or services, so the scope of protection is unknown from this data; the closest concern would arise if the new name were used for goods or services that overlap with whatever the original owner was offering, but the absence of a description means the record offers limited guidance. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights under this filing, and the supplied history shows no opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that the specific mark is no longer active, but the lack of goods or services listed means there could still be other related marks or unrecorded rights that might pose a risk.
