WORDPRESS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WORDPRESS” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by the WORDPRESS FOUNDATION, a California corporation. It covers downloadable software for designing and managing website content (class 009) and online, non‑downloadable software that enables internet publishing (class 042). A similar name would raise the closest concern in these two classes, especially for software or services that help create or host websites. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WordPress” in all contexts. The mark was first used in commerce on March 28, 2003, and the most recent status event was a renewal on July 22, 2016. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the visible record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the software and web‑publishing arenas.
