What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK” is dead and was abandoned by Facebook, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the applicant did not respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 16 2014 and was published for opposition on September 23 2014, with a notice of allowance issued on November 18 2014, but the application was ultimately abandoned on November 27 2017. The only goods listed are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in class 012, so the closest concern would arise for a similar name used on UAVs or related products. This history does not give Facebook control over every use of the word “Facebook.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern only if the name is used for UAVs or closely related goods.
