What this record means
This mark is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 85014233, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers maintenance, installation and repair of computer hardware, digital audio and video players, handheld computers, personal digital assistants, electronic organizers, electronic notepads, computer peripherals, accessories, networking hardware, digital electronic devices, and consumer electronic devices, all first used on April 3, 2010. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve repairing or servicing such devices, especially handheld or personal digital assistants. The record does not give Apple control over every use of the word “IPAD” in all contexts. The mark was issued on September 2, 2014, and the most recent maintenance event was the renewal noted on March 21, 2024. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is highest in the repair and servicing of handheld or personal digital assistant devices.
