RAY-BANSerial 75041610 · Principal Register
Dead · Withdrawn
Owner: BAUSCH & LOMB INCORPORATED
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Jan 11, 1996
The record shows the mark RAY‑BAN is dead – it was abandoned by Bausch & Lomb Incorporated after the applicant filed an express abandonment on May 14 1998, which is the most recent status event in the file. The application covered “retail store services in connection with sunglasses and sunglass related accessories” under International Class 042, so a name that’s used for similar retail or service offerings around sunglasses would be the closest area of concern from this record. The filing does not give Bausch & Lomb control over every possible use of the words “ray‑ban” in unrelated fields, and the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register; it remained a Principal Register application until it was abandoned. The prosecution history shows the usual steps – publication for opposition, a notice of allowance, a statement‑of‑use amendment, and finally the express abandonment – but no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name in the sunglasses retail space.
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.
