WA APPLES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WA APPLES” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Seneca Foods Corporation, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 029 goods, specifically apple chips. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class and for the same product, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “WA” or “APPLES” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows that the application was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then allowed, but the abandonment followed the allowance. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the apple‑chip market, though the mark’s dead status means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights.
