RAY-BAN

What this record means

The record shows that the mark RAY‑BAN is dead; its Principal Register registration (No. 361875) expired because it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on June 6, 2009. The owner listed is Luxottica Group S.p.A., and the registration covered only class 009 – “Goggles” – with a first use date of April 6, 1937. Because the protection was limited to goggles, a similar name used for eyewear, sunglasses, or other optical accessories would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or food fall farther from the scope shown. The record contains no prosecution history, so there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any descriptiveness refusal. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for goggles or similar eye‑wear, but the dead status means the USPTO no longer enforces the mark.
