METASerial 97979146 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: Meta Platforms, Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Mar 31, 2022
Registered Dec 31, 2024
The record shows that the mark “META” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 97979146, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration covers class 016 goods, specifically writing instruments such as pens, first used in commerce on May 1 2024. A similar name used for pens or related paper goods would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Meta control over every use of the word “META” in other contexts. The prosecution history indicates a standard examination path: the application was filed March 31 2022, published for opposition May 2 2023, and the mark was allowed and registered December 31 2024. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The next consequential date is the registration date, December 31 2024, after which maintenance filings will be required. For someone considering a similar name in the pen or paper goods market, the presence of this active registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.

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.
