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 goods in class 018, specifically various types of bags such as all‑purpose sports bags, tote bags, book bags, travel bags, umbrellas, and briefcase‑type portfolios. Because the mark is registered for these bag‑related goods, a similar name used on comparable products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Facebook,” only over the listed bag goods. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration. The latest status event is a renewal noted on January 9, 2020, with no further dates provided. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name on bags, the risk is that the mark’s registration could be invoked for infringement in that specific product category.
