SUMMERAY
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that SUMMERAY is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Milliken & Company; the registration was cancelled on April 26 2003 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to “Textile Fabrics Made of Natural and/or Synthetic Fibers and Combinations Thereof” in International Class 024, so a later use of the same word on clothing, upholstery or other fabric products would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as software or food fall farther from the scope shown. Because the registration is cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “SUMMERAY.” The prosecution history shows a normal filing, publication, registration and later maintenance filings, but no supplemental‑register activity. The only notable status event is the 2003 cancellation, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market fabrics under the same name.
