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 software and services that enable uploading, posting, displaying, tagging, blogging, sharing electronic media or information over the Internet, as well as audio and video broadcasting, online chat rooms, forums, and on‑line journals. A similar name used for any of those services—especially social networking, content sharing, or online communication—would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Facebook” in all contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest maintenance event was the renewal noted on March 19, 2020. Because the mark is active and covers a broad range of online communication services, anyone considering a similar name in those areas should be cautious.
