ZEISS

What this record means

The record shows a live, pending application for the mark ZEISS owned by Carl Zeiss AG, a corporation organized in Germany, and it is being examined for registration on the Principal Register. The goods listed are land‑vehicle parts – windshields with a transparent holographic waveguide – window‑pane components and assemblies that include the same waveguide plus sensors and imaging devices, hunting‑related clothing and headwear, and scent‑eliminating wipes for hunting and outdoor recreation. A similar name used for any of those specific items would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Carl Zeiss AG control over every possible use of the word “ZEISS.” The prosecution history shows the application moved from a final refusal in December 2024 to an examiner’s amendment and eventual approval for publication in July 2025, followed by a Notice of Allowance on Feb 10 2026 and a granted extension to file a Statement of Use on Jun 22 2026. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark covering holographic windshield components, hunting apparel or related wipes.
