METASerial 98203349 · Principal Register
Pending · Under Examination
Owner: Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co. KG
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Class 013 -
Class 037 -
Filed Sep 29, 2023
The record shows that the mark “META” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co. KG, a limited partnership organized in Germany. The application was filed on September 29, 2023 and the latest status update, on April 16, 2026, indicates the application remains suspended after a suspension check. The goods listed are riflescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, reticles, illuminated reticles, scope mounts for firearms, and repair and maintenance of scopes for firearms, all under class 009 and class 037. A similar name used in these or closely related categories would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “META.” The prosecution history shows repeated suspension checks and a recent extension granted on October 21, 2024, but no opposition or cancellation events appear. With no enforcement activity recorded, the supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and specific scope of the goods suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in the firearms‑scope market.

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.
