What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead and was abandoned by Cedric Kushner Boxing, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was filed on August 12, 1999, published for opposition on October 2, 2001, and a Notice of Allowance was mailed on December 25, 2001, but the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request, leading to abandonment on June 26, 2002. The only goods listed are entertainment services: ongoing television program series featuring virtually enhanced presentations of boxing competitions integrated with animated stories featuring fictional characters. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve televised boxing entertainment with animated elements. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “XBOX.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within televised boxing entertainment with animation, but the abandonment leaves the mark’s protection limited.
