XBOX
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Microsoft Corporation. The registration covers electrical and scientific apparatus for providing computer and video games downloadable over computer networks, communication services such as online chat rooms and bulletin boards for video and computer game users, and entertainment services that include interactive multiplayer game services and information about the video game industry. A similar name used in any of those areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “XBOX” in unrelated contexts. There is no prosecution history beyond the initial filing, and the latest maintenance event is the July 18, 2023 renewal. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is significant if the name is used for computer or video games, online gaming services, or related communications.
