FACEBOOKSerial 77896317 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Facebook, Inc.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed Dec 17, 2009
The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK” is dead and was abandoned by Facebook, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register and covered electronic processing and transmission of bill payment data for users of computer and communication networks, specifically bill payment services in class 036. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve electronic bill payment or related financial transaction processing. The record does not give Facebook control over every use of the word “Facebook,” only over the specific bill‑payment services listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on January 27, 2014. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Facebook” for electronic bill‑payment services could conflict with this abandoned mark’s historical scope.

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.
