NIKE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NIKE” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, NIKE, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The registration covered watches (class 014) and the mark’s use in commerce began on July 26, 1984. Because the mark is cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE.” The closest area of concern would be any use of the name on watches or related goods in class 014, as that is the only goods description listed. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions, cancellations after publication, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation on May 10, 1993. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests that the mark no longer provides a strong basis for infringement claims, but the specific goods covered in class 014 still represent the narrowest potential concern.
