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 computer software development tools and a wide range of software services that facilitate social networking, API use, and online data management, all first used in commerce in August 2006. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of social networking software and related online services. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it applies only to the goods and services listed. No Supplemental Register or prosecution history is involved, and the latest status event is the renewal noted on October 29, 2023. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active, broad‑scope registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the social networking software arena.
