What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead and was abandoned after an inter‑parts decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is XBOX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The mark was a service mark applied for under an intent‑to‑use basis and was registered on the Principal Register for the class 036, which covers “Disseminating information in the fields of insurance, investments and finance over wireless devices, telephone, desk top computers, global computer networks and global communications networks.” A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve providing financial or insurance information through electronic or networked platforms. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “XBOX.” The last meaningful event was the abandonment on July 5, 2001, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the history suggests a meaningful concern for financial‑information services that use the same wording.
