XBOX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an office action. The owner listed is CEDRIC KUSHNER BOXING, INC., a corporation organized in New York, and the mark was filed on September 24, 1999 under an intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 041. The specific services described are entertainment services, namely television programs featuring virtually enhanced presentations of boxing competitions integrated with animated stories featuring fictional characters. Because the record is dead, it does not give the owner control over the word “XBOX” in any other context or class. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action mailed in July 2000 and a subsequent abandonment in March 2001; no later maintenance or enforcement events appear. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the entertainment‑broadcasting field, but the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording.
