XBOX TECHNOLOGIES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XBOX TECHNOLOGIES” is dead, having been abandoned by its owner, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, after the applicant filed an express abandonment. The mark was filed on May 02 2000 and the abandonment was recorded on July 30 2001. The only goods or services listed are communication services, specifically electronic mail services, wireless transmission of images, documents, messages and data over communication networks, telephone, desktop computers and wireless devices, and providing online electronic bulletin boards for transmitting messages among computer users concerning educational information. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name used in the same or closely related communication‑service context could raise the closest concern. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence with a non‑final action, approval for publication, and eventual abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific communication‑service scope remains a potential point of concern.
