What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” was abandoned on December 8, 2021, and the owner is Apple Pear Apple Corp., a corporation organized in Tennessee. The abandoned application covered clothing items such as belts, blazers, dresses, hats, hooded sweatshirts, jeans, leggings, skirts, slacks, sweaters, sweatpants, sweatshirts, t‑shirts, trousers, and vests under class 025. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner exclusive control over the word “APPLE” in all contexts, but the record indicates that a similar name used for comparable apparel could raise the closest concern. The prosecution history shows that the application was assigned to an examiner, received a non‑final action, and ultimately was abandoned after the applicant failed to respond. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name in apparel, this history suggests a meaningful concern but does not prove that the name is blocked in all uses.
