XBOX TECHNOLOGIES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX TECHNOLOGIES” is dead, having been abandoned by the applicant, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The mark was filed on May 2 2000 and abandoned on August 9 2001. It covered computer software, specifically browser software and various data‑processing applications, in class 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark’s goods involve software for accessing, organizing, and transmitting information on global networks. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the record does not give control over every use of the wording. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that, while the mark is no longer active, the earlier filing still shows that the owner once claimed rights to that combination of words in the software field, so caution is advised if the new use is in a closely related area.
