NIKE

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. The registration covers the full line of sports clothing under class 025, with first use in commerce on June 18, 1971. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class of sports apparel, where the mark’s distinctiveness and long‑standing use are clear. This record does not give Nike control over every use of the word “Nike” in all contexts; it applies only to the goods listed. No prosecution history or supplemental register status appears, so the mark was never moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest maintenance event is the renewal, with the status date of January 24, 2026. No opposition, cancellation, or court action is recorded, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this strong, active registration in sports clothing suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in that market.
