XAI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XAI” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is Hiram Walker & Sons, Inc., a Michigan corporation that filed the application on July 19, 1990 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The only goods listed were liqueur, class 33, so the closest concern would be for any new use in that category. Because the mark is dead, the record does not give the owner control over the word in any other context. The prosecution history shows that after the Notice of Allowance on December 10, 1991 the applicant repeatedly filed extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, but ultimately did not file one, leading to abandonment on December 11, 1994. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the main risk is that the word may still be associated with liqueur under this abandoned mark, but the record does not preclude other uses.
