METASerial 97978832 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: Meta Platforms, Inc.
Class 038 - Communication Services
Filed Jan 04, 2022
Registered Oct 29, 2024
The record shows that the mark “META” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation. It covers a wide range of communication services, including electronic transmission of images, audio‑visual and video content, peer‑to‑peer photo and video sharing, access to online databases, social networking, instant messaging, and related services. A similar name used in any of these areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give control over every use of the word “META”; it applies only to the goods and services listed. The record contains no prosecution history or enforcement events, and the last significant status event was the registration on October 29, 2024. With no visible enforcement activity, the supplied history shows no current opposition or cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the name is used for comparable communication or social networking services.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
