RAY-BANSerial 71484518 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: BAUSCH & LOMB OPTICAL COMPANY
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Jun 14, 1945
Registered Nov 27, 1945
The record shows that the mark RAY‑BAN is dead; its registration on the Principal Register (Reg. 418054) expired because it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on Nov 13, 1986. The owner listed is BAUSCH & LOMB OPTICAL COMPANY, and the registration covered only class 009 – “OPHTHALMIC LENSES” – with the first use dated Apr 1938. Because the protection was limited to ophthalmic lenses, a similar name used for unrelated goods such as clothing, eyewear frames, or non‑optical products would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history contains a single entry noting the expiration under Section 9, and no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market lenses or related optical devices under a similar name.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
