ZEISS IKON

What this record means

The record shows that ZEISS IKON, owned by ZEISS IKON A.G., was a Principal Register trademark that expired because it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on Nov 04 1992. It covered goods in International Class 009, specifically cameras, lenses, shutters, light filters, view finders, stereoscopes, sensitized films and papers, flashlight apparatus, projectors, hemometers, exposure meters and calculating machines, all listed as “Electrical & Scientific Apparatus.” A similar name used for any of those photographic or scientific devices would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope would be farther from the listed area. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “ZEISS IKON.” No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear in the file, and the only notable event is the expiration notice. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market similar optical or measurement equipment under a comparable name.
