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 application was filed on May 2, 2000 on an intent‑to‑use basis for 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. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for services that involve entertainment or media delivered via computer or wireless networks. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence that ended with an express abandonment on July 24, 2001, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk for services in the same entertainment‑networking sphere.
