THE RAY-BAN STORYSerial 74327856 · Principal Register
Dead · Withdrawn
Owner: BAUSCH & LOMB INCORPORATED
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Oct 30, 1992
The record shows the mark THE RAY‑BAN STORY is dead – it was abandoned on July 5 1995 after the applicant filed an express abandonment, and the owner listed is BAUSCH & LOMB INCORPORATED, a New York corporation. The only listed coverage is a service in class 042 described as “retail stores featuring sunglasses and sunglass related accessories,” so a similar name used for eyewear retail or related services would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE RAY‑BAN STORY” in unrelated fields. Because the mark was on the Principal Register but never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment in 1995, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for sunglass‑related retail services.
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.
