What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by META PLATFORMS, INC., a Delaware corporation. The registration covers class 042, specifically “Providing temporary use of non‑downloadable software applications for video sharing,” first used in commerce in June 2007. A similar name used for services that involve temporary, non‑downloadable video‑sharing software would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it is limited to the described services. There is no Supplemental Register activity or prosecution history to explain. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal noted on August 19, 2020. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within temporary video‑sharing software services.
