RAY BAN XRAYS SERIOUS SPORTS SUNGLASSES

What this record means

The record shows the mark RAY BAN XRAYS SERIOUS SPORTS SUNGLASSES was registered on the Principal Register to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated but was cancelled on Jan 10 2004 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. It covered only “sunglasses and parts thereof, and accessories for sunglasses, namely sunglass cases” in International Class 009, so a later use of a similar name on eyewear or related accessories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Bausch & Lomb control over every possible use of the words “Ray Ban” or “serious sports sunglasses” in other product categories. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, and was allowed on the Principal Register before its eventual cancellation; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market sunglasses or cases under a similar name.
