INSTAGRAM

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. The registration covers services in classes 035 and 038, specifically marketing, advertising, and promotion services, dissemination of advertising via computer and communication networks, and telecommunication services that transmit advertisements and media advertising communications. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these advertising and communication services areas. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Instagram,” only within the listed services. No supplemental register or prosecution history is present, so the mark was accepted without a descriptiveness refusal. The latest maintenance event is the renewal, with the status date of September 29, 2025. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in advertising or communication services could be viewed as infringing this active registration.
