What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark BI‑RAY owned by Melodee LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The filing lists Class 025 goods – clothing such as T‑shirts, shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, sweatpants, dresses, jackets, sweaters, socks, bandanas, scarves and belts, plus footwear, hats and headwear – so a similar name used on apparel or related accessories would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “BI‑RAY” in other product categories. The prosecution history shows a non‑final Office action was issued on Feb 23 2026, an extension was granted, and the applicant’s response was entered on Aug 21 2026, which is the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand clothing or related items with a similar name.
