What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE” is dead and was abandoned by the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, a non‑profit corporation organized in Pennsylvania. The application was filed on September 20, 2023, published for opposition on June 18, 2024, and the abandonment was recorded on August 2, 2024. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered services in class 035, specifically the provision and administration of a loyalty, rewards and recognition incentive program for teachers, administrators and staff of the School District of Philadelphia, including loyalty points, discounts and specials on tickets for live theater, musical and orchestra shows, giveaways, recognition awards and admission to special events. Because the goods and services are tied to educational and performing‑arts incentives, a similar name used in that exact context would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “APPLE.” No enforcement actions, oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last significant event was the abandonment on August 2, 2024. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “APPLE” in a similar loyalty‑program or performing‑arts context could trigger a claim of infringement.
