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 electrical and scientific apparatus in class 009, specifically eyewear such as sunglasses, sunglass frames, cases for eyewear, and parts and accessories like straps, neck cords, and head straps that restrain eyewear from movement on a wearer. A similar name used for products or services in this exact category would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE” in all contexts; it is limited to the goods listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register status, so the mark remains on the Principal Register. The latest maintenance event is the renewal noted for May 1, 2026, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name in the eyewear or related accessory market, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
