XBOX
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX” is dead and was cancelled because Microsoft Corporation failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 2003 for services in classes 038 and 041, which cover online chat rooms and interactive multiplayer computer games, as well as related entertainment and educational services. A similar name used for comparable online gaming or chat services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “XBOX” in all contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful status event was the cancellation on July 17, 2010. Because the mark is cancelled, the risk of conflict is lower, but the historical registration still signals that Microsoft once protected the name for gaming‑related services.
