NIKE

What this record means

This record shows the mark “NIKE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Nike, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon. The registration covers services in class 041, specifically entertainment services that involve organizing sporting events such as contests, clinics, camps, tournaments and exhibitions, with first use in commerce on October 1, 2014. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same or closely related sporting event organization services. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “NIKE”; it applies only to the listed services. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The latest status event was a combined Sections 8 and 15 declaration accepted on March 16, 2023. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within sporting event organization services.
