Apple Inc.’s California Service Address Is C T Corporation System in Glendale
Apple Inc. — the consumer electronics and services company headquartered in Cupertino — designates C T Corporation System as its California registered agent, and we serve it at 330 N Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203. The case mix is broad: product liability (battery defects, hardware failures), App Store antitrust (Epic Games and progeny), employment claims (iCloud worker classification, retail employment), IP enforcement (patent litigation, trademark), and consumer protection actions all route through Apple Inc. at its registered agent. Confirm the agent on the California Secretary of State’s bizfile before you serve — designations change, and serving the wrong agent voids the service.
Despite Apple’s Cupertino headquarters, California suits don’t go to the Cupertino address — they go to the registered agent, C T Corporation System, in Glendale. This is a common point of confusion that produces invalid service when plaintiffs try to serve at One Apple Park Way directly. Sacramento Registered Process Server handles Apple Inc. service at C T Corporation System on routine dispatch with same-day available for $25 more; next-day service is $99 flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I serve Apple at the Cupertino headquarters instead?
No — service must go to the designated registered agent under CCP § 415.10. Apple Inc.’s designated CA agent is C T Corporation System, which we serve at 330 N Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203 — not One Apple Park Way. Service in Cupertino at corporate headquarters can be challenged as improper.
Are Apple Services and Apple Stores served at the same address?
Apple Inc. is the umbrella legal entity for both. Whether the claim arises from an App Store transaction, an Apple Store premises issue, or an iCloud service dispute, service goes to Apple Inc. via C T Corporation System.
How does Apple typically respond to product liability claims?
Apple’s California defense team is well-resourced and responsive. Expect an answer or removal to federal court within the 30-day response window. Class actions trigger more aggressive defense motions; individual product liability cases often see early settlement evaluation.
