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 athletic and casual clothing for men, women, and children, including shirts, pants, shorts, jackets, warm‑up suits, swimwear, tenniswear, skirts, sweaters, underwear, headwear, socks, wristbands, and handwear. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel and sportswear market, especially where the goods overlap with those listed. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE” in all contexts. There is no prosecution history to explain, and the latest maintenance event is the renewal noted on September 29, 2023. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the visible record suggests a significant risk of confusion in the clothing and sportswear sector.
