What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX TECHNOLOGIES” is dead, having been abandoned after publication because the applicant, XBOX Technologies, Inc., filed an express abandonment. The owner is a Minnesota corporation. The mark covered services in class 041, specifically providing information in the fields of entertainment, hospitality, travel, music or movies or sports over global computer networks, global communication networks, wireless devices, telephone and desktop computers. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve delivering entertainment or related content over any of those digital platforms. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “XBOX” or “TECHNOLOGIES.” The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication on January 15, 2001, published for opposition on May 8, 2001, and abandoned on July 16, 2001, with no further maintenance events. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific services listed still represent the narrow scope of the original claim.
