What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX SMARTGLASS” is no longer active; it was cancelled because Microsoft Corporation failed to file a Section 8 declaration.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 009, covering software that enables communication and interaction between phones, mobile devices, televisions, video game consoles, media players, computers, digital media hubs, and audiovisual devices. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific software services. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the words “XBOX” or “SMARTGLASS” outside that scope. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the cancellation noted on October 11, 2024. If you’re thinking of a comparable name, be aware that the cancelled registration still signals that Microsoft once claimed rights in that particular software area, so use of a similar name in that field could still invite scrutiny.
