MICROSOFTSerial 87047436 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: Microsoft Corporation
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed May 23, 2016
Registered Apr 17, 2018
The record shows that the mark “MICROSOFT” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Microsoft Corporation, a corporation organized in Washington. It covers a broad range of electrical and scientific apparatus, including computer peripherals, keyboards, mice, and a wide array of computer programs for wallet‑sized personal computers, phones, and global communication networks, among other related software. A similar name would raise the closest concern for uses in these same categories of hardware and software. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “Microsoft” in all contexts. The prosecution history indicates a standard acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations, with no supplemental register sequence. The latest status event is the acceptance of the 6‑year Section 8 renewal on August 29, 2024. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using it for comparable computer hardware or software could lead to a strong likelihood of infringement.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
