What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GEMINI” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP, a limited partnership organized in Illinois. The registration covers sterilization wraps used with surgical instruments, first used in commerce on August 31, 2005. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the medical device or surgical supplies field, especially for products that wrap or protect instruments during sterilization. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Gemini”; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication and registered without a supplemental register sequence. The most recent significant event is the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on February 15, 2024, keeping the mark active. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Gemini” for related surgical or sterilization products could conflict with this active registration.
