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. It covers services in class 035 for an online directory information service featuring collegiate life, classifieds, virtual community and social networking, and in class 038 for providing online chat rooms for registered users to transmit messages about collegiate life, classifieds, virtual community and social networking. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same online community and communication services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it is limited to the goods and services listed. There is no Supplemental Register involvement or prosecution history to explain. The latest status event is the renewal, with the next status date on February 18, 2026. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in online community or chat services could be seen as infringing this active registration.
