What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NIKE AIR VAPORMAX” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Nike, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon. The registration covers class 025, specifically footwear, with first use in commerce on March 26, 2017. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same category of athletic footwear. The record does not give Nike control over every use of the words “Nike” or “Vapormax” outside that specific goods description. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move. The latest maintenance event is the status update on February 13, 2024, and no further dates are supplied. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the visible record suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the name is used for footwear.
