GOOGLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GOOGLE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by GOOGLE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration covers class 042, specifically the provision of internet search engines, with first use in April 2000. A similar name used for internet search services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word “Google.” The prosecution history shows a single application filed in February 2012, published for opposition in April 2012, and registered in July 2012, with no supplemental register activity. The latest maintenance event is the renewal in June 2022, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Google” for internet search services would likely conflict with this active registration.
