What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by NIKE, INC., a corporation organized in Oregon. The registration covers footwear under class 025, with the goods listed as “Footwear” and first use in commerce on June 18, 1971. A similar name would raise the closest concern for footwear or related apparel, because that is the exact scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE”; it is limited to the goods and services listed. There is no Supplemental Register status, and the prosecution history is empty, so no examination sequence is shown. The latest maintenance event is the renewal noted on April 26, 2025. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk for footwear or related apparel, but it does not preclude use in unrelated categories.
