The record shows that the mark “MICROSOFT” is dead and was refused because the application did not meet minimum filing date requirements; the serial number was assigned in error. The owners listed are David Chen (Jian Chen), Bernie Chen, Vickie Xi (WeiJie Xi), Marry Chen (MeiDi Chen), John Chen (ChangGuo Chen), YouFeng Wang, and George Xi (GenFa Xi). The mark was applied for on the Principal Register for class 025, covering a wide range of athletic clothing and footwear, including shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats, caps, uniforms, padded apparel, cycling gloves, and undergarments. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those specific athletic apparel and footwear categories. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “MICROSOFT.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest event is the status change to dead on July 11, 2025. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this dead application in the athletic apparel space suggests a potential, but not definitive, risk of confusion for comparable goods.

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.
