What this record means
The record shows that RAY.BAN is a live Principal Register registration owned by LUXOTTICA GROUP S.P.A., a corporation organized in Italy, and it has been renewed as of the status date of September 26 2017. The registration covers Class 009 goods described as “SUN GLASSES, SHOOTING GLASSES, AND OPHTHALMIC LENSES,” with a first use in April 1938. A similar name used on eyewear or related optical products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give LUXOTTICA control over every possible use of the word “RAY.BAN.” There is no prosecution history indicating a Supplemental Register filing, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. Given the active claim over eyewear, I’d treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable mark in that field.
