NIKE

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “NIKE” was abandoned by BRS, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon, and is no longer live on the Principal Register. The abandoned application covered all‑purpose sports bags, backpacks and waist packs in class 018, and a broad range of footwear and clothing items in class 025, including anoraks, caps, hats, jackets, overalls, shortalls, pants, parkas, shirts, shorts, socks, sweatpants, sweatshirts, swimsuits, swim trunks, tops, T‑shirts, vests and warm‑up suits. Because the goods listed are specific to sports apparel and accessories, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown, but the record still indicates a potential concern for sports‑related goods. The history shows a Notice of Allowance was issued on March 21, 1995, but no Statement of Use was filed, leading to abandonment on September 22, 1995. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the name is used for comparable sports apparel or gear.
