FACEBOOKSerial 77011251 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Mitchell L. Donnell
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Sep 30, 2006
The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Mitchell L. Donnell, after an incomplete response to an office action. The mark was filed on September 30, 2006 and the abandonment notice was mailed on November 30, 2007. The goods listed are pre‑recorded DVDs, CDs, video tapes and multimedia software featuring content from a television series about bail bondsmen, as well as prerecorded music on CD, DVD and other media. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Facebook.” The prosecution history indicates a series of office actions, voluntary amendments, and a final refusal, but no supplemental register entry. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the entertainment and music media space, and the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that specific wording, though it does not eliminate potential conflicts with other similar marks.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
