CARL ZEISS

What this record means

The record shows that “CARL ZEISS” is a live Principal Register registration owned by CARL ZEISS AG, a corporation organized in Germany, and it has been renewed as of June 30 2023. The registration covers Class 009 goods described as photographic objectives and a range of optical equipment such as microscope eyepieces, monoculars, riflescopes, binoculars, microscopes, operation microscopes, slit‑lamp microscopes, photogrammetric plotting instruments and aerial survey cameras, with a first use date of 1950. Because the listed goods focus on scientific and photographic optics, a similar name used for those types of products would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “CARL ZEISS.” The most recent meaningful event is the third renewal filing and acceptance on June 30 2023; no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same optical‑equipment market.
