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 045, specifically social introduction, networking and dating services, social services and information in personal development, charitable and community services, and identification verification services. A similar name would raise the closest concern for uses in those same areas, especially online social networking or identity‑verification services. The record does not give Meta control over every use of the word “Facebook” in all contexts. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register transfer. The most recent maintenance event is the renewal noted on February 18, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in class 045 suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use falls within those services.
