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 application was filed on May 2, 2000 under the intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 038, which includes electronic mail services, telecommunication services such as wireless transmission of images, documents, messages and data over communication networks, and online electronic bulletin boards for educational information. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “XBOX.” The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication on April 9, 2001, then the applicant expressed abandonment on August 10, 2001, withdrawing the application. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same class of communication services, but the abandoned status suggests the risk is lower than for an active registration.
