XBOX BEAM
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XBOX BEAM” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Microsoft Corporation, a corporation organized in Washington. The abandoned application covered a wide range of computer‑software and online services related to gaming, including software for capturing and recording live gameplay, online gaming services, e‑sports event organization, and streaming of gaming content. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same gaming‑software and online‑streaming context. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows a single Office action and a subsequent abandonment; no supplemental register status or enforcement actions appear. With no visible enforcement activity, the supplied history shows no active protection, but the abandoned status still signals that Microsoft once claimed rights in these areas. If you plan to use a similar name in gaming software or streaming, consider that Microsoft’s prior claim may still create a risk of confusion in that field.
