RAY-BAN

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 June 2 2018 status date. The registration covers Class 009 goods described as ophthalmic products and accessories—including sunglasses, shooting glasses, eyeglasses, spectacles, goggles, lenses, frames and protective cases—so a similar name used on any of those types of eyewear or related accessories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give LUXOTTICA control over every possible use of the word “Ray‑Ban” in unrelated fields. There is no prosecution history indicating a Supplemental Register filing, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. The most recent meaningful event is the renewal noted in the status sentence. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market eyewear or similar eye‑protection items under a comparable name.
