MICROSOFT
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MICROSOFT” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 90402135, owned by Microsoft Corporation. The registration covers services in classes 042 and 045, including scientific and technology services such as monitoring computer systems for security, and legal and personal services such as online social networking and gaming. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in these specific technology and social‑networking fields. The record does not give Microsoft control over every use of the word “Microsoft” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, publication for opposition, and registration, with no Supplemental Register involvement. The latest event is the registration confirmation on March 21, 2023, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is highest for technology or social‑networking services, while other areas may present a lower concern.
