FACEBOOK GO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK GO” is dead, having been abandoned because Facebook, Inc. did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after receiving a Notice of Allowance. The mark was applied for as a service mark on March 23, 2015 and was published for opposition on August 18, 2015. It covered services in class 035, specifically advertising and business services such as promoting goods and services over the Internet, marketing, advertising and promotion services, marketing consultation, market research, and creation of marketing tools that provide demographic and advertising performance data. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the closest concern for a similar name would arise in those advertising and marketing services. The record does not give Facebook control over every use of the words “Facebook” or “Go” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the abandonment on May 16, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific advertising and marketing services listed remain a potential area of concern if the new name is used in a similar field.
