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. It covers interactive video game devices, including game consoles, controllers, and related software, as listed in class 009. A similar name used for products or services in that same category would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “XBOX” outside that specific scope. There is no prosecution history shown, so no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move is evident. The latest maintenance event is the renewal noted on March 14, 2023, and no further dates are supplied. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations. For someone looking to use a similar name in the gaming hardware or software space, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
