What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead, having been abandoned on June 4, 2021 because the applicant, Seth M Folk of a Maryland‑organized limited liability company, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register and covered electronic storage services for archiving electronic data in class 042. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve electronic data storage or related scientific and technology services. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, but the record does not eliminate the possibility that other owners could claim the same wording for unrelated goods or services. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the dead status reduces the risk of conflict in the specific service area, but caution remains for other classes or uses.
