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 services in classes 035, 038, and 041, including advertising, online marketplaces, digital music delivery, and contest‑and‑incentive programs. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any business that offers advertising, online retail, digital music, or contest services, especially those that use computer or communication networks. This record does not give control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it only protects the specific services listed. The prosecution history is empty, so no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move is shown. The latest maintenance event was the renewal noted on October 18, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Facebook” in any of the listed services could trigger a claim of infringement.
