XBOX LIVE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX LIVE” is no longer active; it was cancelled because Microsoft Corporation failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in class 041, covering entertainment services such as providing interactive, multiplayer game services over the Internet, offering information about online computer games and video games, and arranging competitions for gamers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of online gaming and entertainment services. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “LIVE” in all contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation on May 23 2025. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of conflict, but the specific gaming‑service scope remains a potential point of concern.
