What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MACBOOK PRO” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Apple Inc., a corporation organized in California. The registration covers electrical and scientific apparatus in class 009, specifically computers, notebook computers, computer hardware, operating system software, power adaptors, cords, batteries, remote controls for computers, cables and connectors for computer peripherals, and downloadable electronic publications such as instruction manuals for these items. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any product or service that falls within this same technical field of computer hardware and related accessories. The record does not give Apple control over every use of the words “MACBOOK” or “PRO” in unrelated contexts. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The most recent status event is the renewal noted on June 14 2021. For someone looking to use a comparable name, the risk is that any use in the computer hardware or software space could be seen as infringing this active registration.
