FACEBOOKSerial 85147910 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Facebook, Inc.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed Oct 07, 2010
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, filed on October 7, 2010, and it covered electronic processing and transmission of bill‑payment data for users of computer and communication networks, specifically bill‑payment services. The closest concern for a new name would be in the same niche of online bill‑payment or related financial services. This record does not give Facebook control over every use of the word “Facebook” in other contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on April 21, 2014. For someone considering a similar name in online bill‑payment services, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with Facebook’s abandoned mark.

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.
