What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MADMAN” is no longer active; it was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Oakley, Inc., a corporation organized in Washington, was the owner. The mark covered eyewear such as sunglasses, goggles, spectacles, and related parts and accessories, including replacement lenses, ear stems, frames, nose pieces, and foam strips, as well as cases specifically adapted for eyewear. A similar name used for those same kinds of products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Oakley control over every use of the word “MADMAN.” No enforcement activity—such as oppositions, cancellations, or court proceedings—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on July 31, 2017. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific eyewear goods remain a potential point of concern.
