NIKE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NIKE” is still pending and is owned by Nike, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon. The application is on the Principal Register and is currently under examination after a Statement of Use was forwarded to the examining attorney. The goods and services listed are downloadable virtual goods—computer programs featuring footwear, clothing, and headwear for use online and in virtual worlds—and entertainment services that provide non‑downloadable virtual footwear, clothing, and headwear for entertainment purposes in virtual environments. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same digital and virtual goods and services space. The record does not give control over every use of the word “NIKE.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest status event is the notice of allowance on May 16, 2023, and the next significant date is the status date of July 17, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the virtual goods and entertainment sector.
