NIKE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 15 2016 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is NIKE, INC., a corporation organized in Oregon. The only goods recorded are posters, classified under class 016, with first use in 1979. A new user of a similar name would face the closest concern if the goods or services involve posters or related printed matter. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that the specific registration for posters has been withdrawn. The prosecution history shows a long series of renewals and attorney changes, but the final event was the cancellation. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk for poster‑related goods, but the mark’s prior existence and owner still suggest a cautious approach.
