IPAD

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IPAD” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 85014215, owned by Apple Inc., a California corporation. The registration covers the goods “Leather [ bags and ] cases” in class 018, first used and sold in commerce on April 3 2010. A similar name would raise the closest concern for leather bags and cases, but the record does not give Apple control over every use of the word “IPAD.” The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental register move. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal on December 11 2023, keeping the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is highest in the leather bag and case market; elsewhere the concern is less direct.
