The record shows that “THEMESSENGER. IT'S TIME TO BREAK THE NEWS.” is a pending trademark application on the Principal Register owned by JAF Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The application was filed on July 20, 2023 and is currently under examination, with the latest status update on April 15, 2025. The goods and services listed cover downloadable mobile news apps, online news portals, marketplace software, and various audio‑video streaming and educational services in the news, business, politics, and entertainment fields. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same digital news and marketplace categories, especially where the mark is used to identify news‑related mobile applications or online portals. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specific goods and services listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The next consequential date would be the renewal deadline, but it is not provided here. For anyone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in digital news and marketplace 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.
