RAY-BAN SUNGLASSES-THE POLARIZED EXPERTSerial 75433886 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: BAUSCH & LOMB INCORPORATED
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Feb 13, 1998
The record shows the application for “RAY‑BAN SUNGLASSES‑THE POLARIZED EXPERT” is dead; it was abandoned on Dec 2 2000 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Bausch & Lomb Incorporated. The registration, had it been issued, covered Class 009 goods described as “SUNGLASSES, LENSES AND FRAMES THEREOF, AND SUNGLASS CASES,” so a similar name used on eyewear or related accessories would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Bausch & Lomb control over every use of the words “Ray‑Ban,” “sunglasses,” or “polarized” in other product categories. This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history shows only the usual steps of publication, a Notice of Allowance, and several extensions before the eventual abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market sunglasses under a similar phrasing.
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.
