What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX” was abandoned by its owner, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota, after the applicant filed an express abandonment on August 9, 2001. The mark was never registered and is therefore not live. It was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis for class 009, covering computer software such as e‑Learning, content management, and business solution management programs, as well as related optical discs. Because the mark is dead, the record does not grant control over the word “XBOX” in any context; it only indicates that XBOX Technologies once sought protection for that specific set of software and media. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action and an abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “XBOX” for software or related digital products, but the abandoned status means the record alone does not block such use.
