NIKE

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “NIKE” is no longer live; it expired on May 23 1994 and is listed as dead. The owner was DOMKRAFTAKTIEBOLAGET NIKE, a corporation organized in Sweden. The mark was registered on August 14 1973 for three classes: mechanical and hydraulic lifting equipment, paper goods and printed matter, and barber chairs. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those specific goods—lifting jacks, hydraulic presses, drafting tables, and barber chairs—rather than in unrelated categories. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “NIKE.” The prosecution history shows the mark was accepted under Section 8 and later expired under Section 9; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk lies in the narrow, now‑expired classes listed, and the mark’s dead status means there is no current active protection.
