NIKESerial 74170899 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Nike Securities L.P.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed May 28, 1991
The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is dead, having been abandoned after an inter‑parts decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Nike Securities L.P., a limited partnership organized in Illinois. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register and covered financial services, specifically investment banking, the purchase and resale of fixed‑income securities, and the sponsoring, underwriting and distribution of unit investment trust and mutual funds. Because the goods and services are limited to that financial sector, a similar name used in unrelated areas—such as apparel, sports equipment, or technology—would present a farther‑from‑scope concern, while use in the same financial services area would raise the closest record‑based risk. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “NIKE.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful status event was the abandonment on November 6, 2001. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is greatest if the new use falls within the same financial services category.

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.
