RAY-BAN VISIONARY AWARD
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “RAY‑BAN VISIONARY AWARD” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by LUXOTTICA GROUP S.p.A.; the cancellation was recorded on Jan 19 2017 after the underlying International Registration was withdrawn. The registration covered paper goods and printed matter (class 16), clothing (class 25) and education‑entertainment services related to award ceremonies, events and training (class 41), with a disclaimer that only “AWARD” is disclaimed in classes 16 and 41. Because the filing was for those specific categories, a similar name used for eyewear, lenses or unrelated retail would be farther from the listed scope, while a name applied to greeting cards, apparel or award‑related events would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record contains no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same classes, but it does not automatically block all other uses.
