FACEBOOK

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 pre‑paid gift card services, specifically issuing gift card certificates that may be redeemed for goods or services, and also lists cancelled classes for magnetically encoded gift cards and paper gift cards. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the gift‑card services area, especially where the name is used for prepaid card offerings. This record does not give Meta control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it applies only to the goods and services listed. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration sequence. The latest status event is the renewal on November 14, 2023, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using it for prepaid gift card services could be problematic.
