NIKE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NIKE” was registered on the Principal Register in 1994 for paper goods and printed matter, specifically binders, student planners, notebooks, portfolio covers, and bookbags or pouches for carrying school materials. The owner is NIKE, INC., a corporation organized in Oregon. The status is dead, having been cancelled on April 3 2020 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancellation is the most recent significant event. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. Because the mark is cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over the word “NIKE” in any context; it only shows that the mark once covered those specific goods. A similar name used for other paper or school‑related items would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the name is used for comparable paper goods, but the cancellation means the owner no longer holds that protection.
