NIKE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is no longer live; it was cancelled under Section 18 by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board on October 8, 1996, and the owner is BETTER PACKAGES, INCORPORATED, a corporation organized in New York. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1956 for the specific goods of adhesive tape dispensing and applying apparatus—namely bag sealers. Because the cancellation was for lack of use, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE.” The only visible enforcement signal is the cancellation itself; no oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history. The closest concern for a new name would be in the same class of adhesive tape dispensing and applying apparatus. If you are thinking of a similar name for that type of product, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the cancelled mark.
