NIKE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Wang Ling, an individual. The mark was filed on June 24, 2021 and covers a wide range of yarns and threads for textile use, including cotton, wool, nylon, polyester, and biofabricated materials. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the textile yarn and thread market, especially where the goods are sold or used in commerce. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NIKE.” The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence that ended in abandonment; no supplemental register status is involved. The latest event is the abandonment notice on October 11, 2022, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific yarn and thread goods remain a potential area of concern.
