The record shows that the mark “WHATSAPP” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by WHATSAPP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration covers a broad range of downloadable software and communication services, including instant messaging, file sharing, voice and video calls, and related mobile applications, as well as telecommunication and data transmission services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any business that offers instant messaging or related communication software or services, especially those delivered via mobile or web platforms. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WhatsApp” in unrelated contexts. The most recent event is the acceptance of a Section 8 and Section 15 declaration on November 15, 2024, which keeps the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the visible record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the instant‑messaging and communication services space.

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.
