What this record means
The record shows that the mark “APPLE SUGAR” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Apple Sugar LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The mark was filed on January 2, 2024 for goods in class 030, specifically natural sweetener, with first use in commerce on November 13, 2017. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class and for the same type of product—natural sweetener. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the words “apple” or “sugar” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a final refusal and subsequent abandonment, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on June 23, 2025. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods and services remain a potential point of concern.
