WINDOWS
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WINDOWS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 87473722, owned by Microsoft Corporation. It covers a wide range of electrical and scientific apparatus, including computers, tablets, laptops, software development kits, and various voice‑controlled and smart devices, as well as a broad array of communication, advertising, education, and technology services. A similar name used for products or services that fall within any of these categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “WINDOWS”; it is limited to the goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows no refusals or amendments, so the mark entered the Principal Register directly. The latest status event is the registration on September 28, 2021, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For anyone considering a similar name, the presence of this active, broad‑scope registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in related fields.
