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 and wristbands. A similar name used in these or closely related apparel categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Nike control over every use of the word “NIKE”; it is limited to the goods listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move, and the latest status event is the renewal noted on May 10, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name in the same apparel lines, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
