What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NIKE RECOVERY” is dead, having been abandoned because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The owner listed is Nike, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon, and the mark was registered on the Principal Register. The goods covered are footwear under class 025, so a similar name used for shoes or related apparel would raise the closest concern. The record does not give Nike control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a series of extensions and eventual abandonment, with the last event being the abandonment notice on November 13, 2017. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer active, but the prior registration still signals that Nike once claimed rights in footwear, so caution is advised when using the name in that market.
