APPLE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
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 8AO 8AO Ltd., a corporation organized in Hong Kong, and the mark was filed on April 9, 2025 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods and services covered are extensive, ranging from computer game programs and downloadable video game software to paper goods such as printed calendars, trading cards, and stationery, as well as clothing items like T‑shirts and costumes for role‑playing games. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these areas, especially where the goods or services overlap with the listed categories. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “APPLE.” The prosecution history shows a protest and a non‑final action, but the abandonment event on January 2, 2026 is the latest meaningful status. No enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the extensive goods list still signals a potential concern if the new use falls within those categories.
