APPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Espro, Inc., a corporation organized in Canada. The mark was filed on May 23 2018 under the intent‑to‑use basis for the Principal Register and covered a narrow set of goods: memory games, party games, tasting games, and games for experiencing flavor notes in beverages or coffees, including games using cups of different shapes. Because the goods are specific to gaming and flavor‑experience products, a similar name used in unrelated industries would be a farther concern, while use in the same gaming or beverage‑tasting niche would raise the closest record‑based concern. The history shows no enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on April 18 2019. For anyone considering a similar name in the same gaming or beverage‑tasting field, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the abandoned mark.
