What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark ZEISS owned by Carl Zeiss AG, filed on September 7 2023 and currently under examination on the Principal Register. The goods listed fall in class 005 – contact‑lens cleaners, liquid cleaning and storage solutions for lenses, sterile and injectable ophthalmic surgery solutions, pre‑filled injection syringes and related viscoelastic agents – and class 007 – micro‑lithography equipment such as semiconductor wafer processing machines, structural parts for lithography devices and precision clamping fixtures. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for products in those ophthalmic or semiconductor‑equipment fields, because the record’s scope is limited to those descriptions and does not extend to unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in December 2024, an examiner’s amendment that same month, a notice of allowance in May 2025, and a second extension of time to file a Statement of Use granted on May 14 2026 with the latest notice of approval on May 15 2026. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning to use “ZEISS” on ophthalmic or micro‑lithography products.
