XBOX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Microsoft Corporation, a corporation organized in Washington. The registration covers printed matter and publications in the video and computer game industries, including magazines, books, newsletters, manuals, and journals that discuss video and computer games, as well as video and computer game hardware, software and related accessories. A similar name used for products or services within those same categories would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “XBOX.” The prosecution history is empty, so no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration sequence is shown. The latest maintenance event was the renewal on May 23, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within the same game‑related printed goods or related accessories.
