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 class 035, specifically marketing, advertising and promotion services, dissemination of advertising for others via computer and communication networks, and related online advertising and market‑research services. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those same advertising and online marketing activities. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Instagram” in all contexts. The mark was filed on August 14, 2015, published for opposition on February 23, 2016, and registered on August 9, 2016, with the most recent status update on January 12, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is highest if the new use involves online advertising or marketing services, and lower for unrelated goods or services.
