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 services in class 036, specifically financial transaction processing services such as clearing and reconciling transactions via computer and communication networks, electronic funds transfer services, and providing a virtual currency for use by members of an online community. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same area of financial services, especially where electronic or virtual currency transactions are involved. This record does not give control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it is limited to the listed services. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move. The latest status event is the renewal on March 26, 2024. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Facebook” in financial transaction or virtual currency services could conflict with this active registration.
