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 was abandoned on August 9, 2001. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering scientific and technology services such as computer software development for others and technical support services for computer hardware and software problems. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of software development and technical support, because those are the goods and services specifically listed. The abandonment means the owner no longer controls the mark, but the record does not remove any potential rights that might exist in other classes or for other uses. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action and then abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement activity recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer active, the specific services listed remain a point of potential concern.
