What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GEMINI” is dead and was abandoned by Metalenz, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued on November 14, 2023. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 009, covering optical apparatus such as lenses, mirrors, and metamaterials used in mobile phone cameras, wearable devices, augmented and virtual reality goggles, displays, projectors, and illuminators, but not microscopy. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GEMINI.” The prosecution history shows a single opposition that was dismissed and no other enforcement actions. The last status event was the abandonment notice on December 15, 2025. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the optical and electronic device space described above; elsewhere the risk is lower, but the abandoned status does not eliminate potential similarity issues.
