Owner: WHATSAPP LLC
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Oct 29, 2015
Registered Sep 01, 2020
The record shows that the mark “WHATSAPP” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 86804170, owned by WHATSAPP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration covers computer software development tools and computer software for use as an application programming interface, classes 009, first used in commerce in October 2018. A similar name would raise the closest concern for software tools or API software, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word “WhatsApp.” The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The latest status event is the registration date of September 1, 2020, with no further maintenance or enforcement actions recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in software development or API contexts could be challenged by this active registration.

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.
