ZEISS IKON

What this record means

The record shows that ZEISS IKON AG’s registration (Serial 73028914, Registration No. 1043282) is dead – it was not renewed and expired on April 21, 1997, so the mark is no longer active. The registration covered only two classes: Class 006 for “locks and keys” and Class 011 for “electric lamps; lighting fittings of all kinds; enclosures for lighting fittings‑namely, louvers and diffusers.” A similar name used in connection with those specific goods would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown here. The prosecution history simply notes the registration and its later expiration; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The latest meaningful event is the expiration notice in 1997, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market locks, keys or lighting products under a comparable name.
