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 golf clubs, golf balls, golf gloves, golf club grips, golf bags, golf tees, head covers for golf clubs, and golf ball markers, all listed under class 028. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same golf‑related goods, especially clubs, balls, and accessories. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE”; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental register move. The latest maintenance event was a renewal, with the status date of November 27, 2017. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, active registration in golf equipment presents a meaningful risk of infringement in that specific market.
