WHATSAPPSerial 87040764 · Principal Register

Owner: WHATSAPP LLC
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed May 18, 2016
Registered Jul 17, 2018
The record shows that the mark “WHATSAPP” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 87040764, owned by WhatsApp LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration covers services in class 035, specifically advertising and business networking services performed via computer and communication networks, with first use in commerce on January 18 2018. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve promoting goods or services online or business networking, because those are the goods and services explicitly protected. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WhatsApp”; it only protects the specific services listed. No supplemental registration or opposition history appears, and the latest status event is the current live status as of December 2 2024. There is no visible enforcement activity in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “WhatsApp” for online advertising or business networking could infringe 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.
