XBOX LIVE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX LIVE” was once registered on the Principal Register but has been cancelled because the registrant, Microsoft Corporation, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled registration covered class 038, which lists services such as providing multiple‑user access to the Internet via cable and telephone networks, voice chat and web messaging services, and transmission of interactive audio and video services. A similar name used in those or closely related communication services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “LIVE” in all contexts. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation notice, and no further dates are provided. If you are thinking of a similar name for communication services, this history suggests a notable risk of conflict.
