XBOX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead, having been abandoned by its owner, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The abandoned application covered services in classes 035 and 038, specifically advertising and business services over a global computer network and telecommunication services such as wireless transmission of voice, data, and images over a global communications network. Because the mark was never registered, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “XBOX.” The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and correspondence, but the only significant event is the express abandonment mailed on July 24, 2001. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for services in advertising, business, or telecommunications, this abandoned record suggests a potential concern in those areas, but it does not preclude use in unrelated fields.
