XBOX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The mark was filed as a service mark on May 2, 2000 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 036 goods, specifically “Disseminating information for others in the fields of insurance, investments and finance over wireless devices, telephone, desk top computers, global computer networks and global communications networks.” Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “XBOX.” The closest area of concern would be any use that involves providing financial or insurance information over similar digital platforms. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action and an express abandonment mailed on August 6, 2001, with no subsequent maintenance or renewal events. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific financial‑information context remains a potential point of caution.
