What this record means
The record shows that the mark “INSTAGRAM” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Instagram, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It protects services in class 041, specifically providing computer‑based electronic and online databases in the field of entertainment, publishing electronic journals and web logs featuring user‑generated or specified content, and publishing electronic publications for others. A similar name used for comparable online entertainment or publishing services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give control over every use of the word “Instagram” in all contexts. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration. The most recent maintenance event is the renewal noted for February 18, 2026. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Instagram” for online entertainment or publishing services could conflict with this active registration.
