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. It protects the use of the mark on all‑purpose sports bags, waist packs, backpacks, fannypacks, and duffle bags, with first use in commerce on March 17, 1972. A similar name used for those types of bags would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word “NIKE.” The prosecution history shows no Supplemental Register activity; the mark was accepted and renewed on September 29, 2023, with the latest maintenance event being the renewal of the 10‑year registration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the existing registration presents a meaningful risk if the name is used on similar bags.
