Microsoft seeking 'Gunpowder' trademark

 

Xbox maker's mark to be used for "entertainment services, namely, providing online video games."

Microsoft has filed a trademark application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) for a new project called "Gunpowder."

The trademark description sheds little light, noting only that the mark will be used for "entertainment services, namely, providing online video games."

The trademark application was filed January 15. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available to comment.

The USPTO in November denied Microsoft's trademark application for Killer Instinct, citing possible confusion with Fox's since-ended TV series of the same name.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
