The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK BEACON” was abandoned by its owner, Facebook, Inc., after the applicant filed an express abandonment. The mark was never registered and is therefore not live. The abandoned application covered services in classes 038, 041, 042, and 045, which include communication services, online databases, software services for uploading and sharing media, and social networking databases. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these areas, especially where the services involve online communication or social networking. The record does not give Facebook control over every use of the words “Facebook” or “Beacon” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in September 2008, an amendment in May 2009, and then the abandonment in July 2009. No enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration, but the specific services listed still present a potential risk of confusion in those fields.

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.
